Honda RVF400 NC35 Horipro by Tyga

Inspired by Ukawa and Ito’s Suzaka 8 Hour winning Honda RVF750 from 1997, Thai company Tyga has got to work revamping a Honda VFR400, creating a super cool custom endurance racer for the road.

Tyga’s fitted some trick Showa front forks straight from a smashed up RC45 Suzuka 8 Hour race bike, and a pair of period Brembo racing discs (from Gecko Motorcycles) to match the period top of the range Brembo calipers, which were then connected to brand new Brembo period radial master cylinders via a HEL brake line. The rear also received the Brembo treatment – with the brake system held in place by TYGA’s own bracket and a HEL brake line.

The rear suspension unit is a one-off Tyga special, made from parts of a stock NC35 unit and an NSR250 F3 shock. The wheels are from PVM, commissioned exclusively for TYGA Performance. They’re made from forged aluminium and are much lighter than stock wheel – and come kitted out with 160 section Dunlop rubber on the rear and stock 120/60 section on the front.

It’s got a new, lighter subframe, a endurance-style headlight setup, carbon bodywork with brilliant Horipro paintwork. It also comes fitted with twin stack TYGA race exhaust and airbox, producing 62 horsepower at the rear wheel.

The cockpit is finished off with a bespoke 3D-printed dash which is influenced by the HRC units from factory racers, a mini brake reservoir, a radiator overflow bottle, TYGA carbon air ducts and a Domino clutch lever.

Other touches around the bike include a TYGA carbon rear hugger and chainguard to keep dirt and grime off the rear suspension, TYGA carbon frame infills and a TYGA keyless filler cap. The engine’s fitted with TYGA carbon side covers, and there’s lightweight rear sprocket from Tyga too – but it’s worth mentioning that the gearing was kept stock for street use.
