The RVF400R (NC35) replaced the VFR400R NC30 in 1994 and was styled as a scaled-down RC45, with twin small headlights and a racier fairing. It kept the 400 cc V4 but added an inverted fork, 17-inch wheels front and rear and ram-air intake. Performance was much the same as the NC30, as Japanese rules capped output, so the gains were mostly in chassis and looks.
