Power to move you – A Honda V4 engine moves you in so many ways. The tangible aura of power. The raw, compelling note that only a V4 can produce. The VFR has a completely new power plant. Inspired by the track, perfected for the road. The enticing pulse at idle, giving way to an invigorating unmistakeable growl from the uniquely designed muffler at full throttle. The acres of responsive torque and useable power to take you effortlessly away from the crowd, or smoothly through the graceful curves of a mountain road. A rush of pure adrenaline, or the serenity of a day’s relaxed cruising. A revolutionary cylinder layout and UNICAM configuration makes the engine broader at the front, narrower at the rear, to give the bike a slimmer waist and you a narrower seat. Perfect mass centralisation with superlative feedback, control and comfort. The VFR’s 4 engine has it all.
Instinctive, effortless control – Everything about the new VFR1200F has been designed to put you in control. It responds like an extension of your own instincts, creating an invigorating blend of precise riding feel and effortless handling. To achieve this, we created a completely new low-maintenance shaft-drive system that any experienced biker would swear feels just like a chain-drive. A unique new ‘throttle-by-wire’ system enhances rider connectivity. Throttle feedback is instant and decisive, for razor-sharp acceleration, superb anoeuvrability and enhanced fuel economy. Onboard, the ergonomic hand controls and intuitive instrument panel are function and elegance personified. Instinctive and effortless control: the defining character of the VFR1200F riding experience.
Exhilarating freedom of choice – Show the VFR1200F a pulse-quickening mountain road and you will quickly discover the soul of a performance thoroughbred. Take it on a long and leisurely ride with a passenger and you will experience refined road manners and relaxing comfort. Versatility that is more than rewarding, it is simply awe-inspiring.
'Ma' and 'Tsuya' – Two Japanese values that find their perfect expression in the all-new Honda VFR1200F. 'Ma' describes the space around an object that reveals a new perspective: the unique connection between the visible and the invisible. Each component of the VFR1200F has been meticulously considered and works in complete harmony with every other component. 'Tsuya' describes the lustre of an object: its visual charm, how it captivates the eye. How the lines, curves andangles of a design come to life. Ultra-modern materials and an unprecedented, mirror-like finish make the VFR1200F the embodiment of 'Tsuya'.
