Honda VFR 1200F Motorcycle Sport The New VFR1200F : Welcome to the Revolution. From CRF/Rs to CBRs to ATVs, Honda is legendary for its innovative, breakthrough engineering and design. And nowhere is this forward-thinking stamp more indelible than on the all-new 2010 VRF1200F, a literal showcase of technological advancement that, from its inception, had but one objective in mind: to create the most complete and perfect sport riding experience ever. From nose to tail, from ergos to engine size to exhaust placement to bodywork design, there’s other machine like it. Which, of course, is exactly what you’d expect from a Honda.
Honda VFR 1200F Motorcycle Sport Radical doesn’t begin to describe the all-new 2010 VFR1200F. After they took it for their inaugural spin Cycle World called it “revolutionary.” And while that certainly describes this incredible new machine, it doesn’t begin to do it justice. The list of innovative technology is endless: the layered, MotoGP-inspired bodywork that’s literally fused in seamless perfection for optimal aerodynamics. An all-new, super-compact Unicam® design 1237cc V4 engine, fueled by Honda’s first-ever Throttle By Wire system. Combined Braking with standard ABS. But perhaps most striking of all is the game-changing Honda Dual-Clutch automatic Transmission: Six speeds, two clutches, and your choice of changing gears with a pair of F1-style paddle shifters or letting the bike shift itself. It’s a feature that has completely blown away even the most cynical magazine test rider. And if you prefer, there’s also a second version of the VFR1200F equipped with a conventional six-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch.Honda VFR 1200F Motorcycle Sport As if the incredible new VFR1200F weren’t trick enough in its standard, manual six-speed form, this standard-setting machine also comes equipped with one of the most advanced and Formula 1-esque features to ever grace a Honda motorcycle: DCT, a.k.a. Dual Clutch Transmission. Opt for push-button six-speed “paddle-style” shifting, or go totally automatic (yep, twist the throttle and the transmission will shift itself up and down through its gears). Better still, you can choose from two modes in Automatic: “D” for regular cruising, or “S” for a sportier pace.
