There's rare and good... and there's rare. That one is just rare.

That and the self destructing gearboxes, top and bottom end problems and iffy fuelling.
It was the bike that almost killed Honda's reputation for reliability, the only good thing about it being, they withdrew it, completely re-engineered it, then relaunched it as the VFR, one of the best bikes Honda have ever made.

I was under the impression that they spent a great deal of money fixing the faults on these for owners? Now i'll go and find a source for that 
edit: Turns out this is not what you think of as a VF750: https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=2637579#2637579

It's definitely what I think of as a VF750.
I stumbled across a forum for them a while back, the workshop section was full of threads saying "Does anyone know how to stop (insert your choice of catastrophic failure)".
Most common answer was "No, not really".
I believe they did throw lots of money at them, but all they succeeded in doing was moving the problem a bit further along the time line.
