Check out the parts we used for this custom motorcycle build below!

The Honda VFR750 is known for its legendary V4 engine and sport-touring versatility. It’s a capable machine in stock form but carries extra weight that can hinder handling in aggressive riding situations. Purpose Built Moto set out to enhance both performance and aesthetics, creating a retro racer with sharper handling and a more streamlined profile.

The build features upgraded suspension to improve responsiveness in corners, along with clip-on handlebars for a sportier riding position. A custom subframe and café-inspired seat gave the bike a cleaner, race-ready look. Lighting was modernized with a PBM LED Headlight and Mini Orbit Tail Light, providing both style and function. A Torpedo exhaust was fitted to boost both power and the unmistakable V4 soundtrack.

These upgrades make the VFR750 a standout retro racer that offers serious performance with vintage charm.
