Honda-VFR1200F

The bike is a clean-sheet interpretation of the ultimate road sport machine – a concept driven by extensive understanding of customer needs. With its state-of-the-art technology and radical styling, VFR1200F delivers a combination of sports and touring capabilities to premium Indian customers who are actively on a look out for brands that have a high ‘FUN’ quotient. It has a top speed of 300km, and comes armed with a 1237cc fuel injected, liquid cooled, compact V4 engine. The engine produces more than 90 per cent of its maximum torque (129Nm/8,750 rpm) at 4000rpm and has a fuel tank capacity of 18.5 litres.

VFR1200F is a bike of many technological firsts. Successor to the legendary VFR800 and Honda’s CBR1100XX Super Blackbird, this is the first bike with Honda’s revolutionary Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) technology. The radical engineering of the remarkably narrow cylinder heads and cylinder spacing lend more mass centralization and rider comfort; while the ergonomically designed layered fairing technology provides extra stability to VFR1200F.

The unique throttle by wire system in this fun bike ensures outstanding response & seamless acceleration across the engine''s rev range. While aiding control under intense de-acceleration is the slipper clutch, which allows the rider to stay firmly in place. The radical combination of CBS with ABS, link the benefits of ABS with the measured application of front brakes when the rear brake lever is used.

Completing the feel & sound of the bike are the triangular muffler and compact exhaust system which distinguish the raw compelling sound of V4 engine from any other motorcycle. Giving a stylish edge to the VFR1200F are the LCD readouts of fuel, coolant temperature level, Honda ignition security system (HISS) indicator, ambient temperature display and ABS indicator.
