First of all, it is necessary to remember this: Since its release in 1986, the VFR evolves every 4 years, smoothly, with confidence, always raising its level of perfection by a notch but never rushing the public. And then, in 2002, it is the shock: a very angular design, more aggressive, the cascade of pinions which disappears, and a V-Tec of which one is only moderately convinced of the effects..
4 years later, for 2006, we expected a new VFR – here it is. But there, the shock is quite different: what has changed ?

Visually, one wonders. Because apart from the white turn signal cabochons, a gradually tinted bubble and the plate between the headlights which has changed color, the latest generation VFR is strictly the same as the previous version (we could make the same criticism for the new R1, except that here, the stylists have had 4 years to work …). Obviously, Honda hasn’t made much use of its design department. No change to note either for the chassis. Besides, there was no need. With its “Pivotless” aluminum frame, its dual-CBS braking and its set of suspensions, the VFR remains a treat in its field of predilection: sport-GT. Nothing to see and nothing to say on that side. Changes, it’s in the mill that we’ll find them.

The most significant improvement is not that the VFR borrows its injectors from the CBR 1000 RR, or that it is henceforth able to pass the Euro 3 anti-pollution standards … No, it is the modification of the laws that govern the V-Tec system. The speed where the engine goes from 2 to 4 valves per cylinder is now set at 6,600 rpm, or 200 rpm earlier than previously. The work mainly focused on a smoother transition without the typical sound of the V4 V-Tec being changed. On deceleration, the threshold for the engine to switch back to 2 valves is reduced to 6,100 rpm.

The VFR remains the VFR. This may be why the public will always love it so much, but it is to be feared that Honda’s approach to developing its bestseller is too timid. The 2002-2005 version did not completely convince; the developments of the 2006 will not succeed in putting the VFR back on the rails of success – also the fault of the market which has evolved a lot.
From the 2007 vintage, the VFR is only available in ABS version.
