The VFR1200 is set to take Honda into the next decade by attracting virtually every sort of rider – combining effortless touring ability, race-sharp handling and everyday practicality into a single package. The new bike is no replacement for Honda’s flagship Fireblade sports bike.

A single-sided swingarm incorporates the shaft-drive and the BMW-style provides neatness and ease of maintenance. The machine’s frame is substantially engineered. The conventional beam frame indicates the massive performance to come from the V4 motor.

The 1200cc V4 is narrow easily fits between the rider’s knees. This bike has a variable cylinder control providing an impressive performance. The conventional gear lever, quashing any notion of Honda only using its new semi-
automatic system will be an option.

The attractive styling and the incorporation of ‘V’ is a carry over from the V4 concept bike of 2008.
