Sport tourers: The VFR 1200 F in pictures

For the spring of 2010, Honda brings the completely newly developed sports tourer motorcycle VFR 1200 F with a 172 hp V4 engine, cardan drive and double-layered cladding on the market.

The new two-wheeler is riding only in front of innovative high-tech. This starts already in the panel, which is built on top of each other in two layers and thereby redirect the air streams to accurate: the sewered air is used for vehicle stabilization at higher speeds, a better engine cooling effect and optimizes the exhaust air. This signals the redesigned front part with so-called X-Face headlight, in which the lines cross X-shaped and flank the headlights of two lateral LED strips.

Bully characteristics

The heart of the completely newly developed sports tour is a liquid-cooled V4 engine with 1237 CCM displacement, the sovereign 129 Nm torque and 126 kW / 172 hp rich power available. The Honda development engineers emphasize the passage force over an unusually wide speed band. So from 3000 tours around 80 percent of the torque for a shift lacre and still sporty driving should be available.
For the V4, the responsible persons have drawn all the registers, starting with a special layout. The cylinder angle is 76 degrees, the two middle cylinders are rearward, which directed outer cylinders forward – that ensures compact tree levels and makes the rear cylinder bank significantly narrower than the front. In addition there are space-saving Unicam four-valve cylinder heads, an achievement from the motocross area. A crankshaft lifting rate of 28 degrees is unnecessary a compensation shaft and should still be able to arrive a strong pulsation in the driver as an expression of the particular engine concept.

Gas pass through electric signal

In the VFF, gas is electronically controlled – instead of conventional throttle actuation, a Throttle-by-WIRE system controls PGM-Fi fuel injection with the desired commands. Sporty downshift in the six-speed gearbox makes an antihopping clutch according to the same principle as possible as with the super-sporting CBR 1000 RR Firblade.
As power transmission to the rear wheel, a cardan drive is used for the first time in the VFR history. Numerous constructive tricks should reduce load change reactions to a minimum and preserve the sporting approach. Honda on the VFR 1200 F on a proven cast aluminum bridge frame, the front wheel is guided by an upside-down telegraph, a shapely and stylistly sporty hatched insertion is used, in which the cardan shaft is running. Also from the sports sector, the tire dimensions come with 120/70 Zr 17 front and a wide 190/55 ZR 17 format rear.
The with 267 kilogram not just lightweight VFF per combined-ABS with two 320 brake discs and hex piston-bearing saddle in front and a slice of the rear with double piston-floating saddle.

In the house of the Japanese manufacturer, one is convinced of this concept so that the VFR is the same for three years warranty and the maintenance intervals stretched on customer-friendly 12 000 kilometers. What will cost this technical jewelery available from February 2010, however, is not fixed yet.

  1. Power and agility
    I was allowed to test the 1200s yesterday. Your article says what’s in the bike. … Force in every course at almost every speed (also with a seat), good suspension tuning and better cornering than with my 2005 VFR! Negative noticed is the annoying grossing of the end pot, the striking design (I do not like it so well) and the high purchasing price!

  2. Test drive with the VFR1200
    Yesterday I lent you for a longer test drive from my dealer. First impression: much easier than the 267 kg suspect. After only 2 km I was "At home" as if I had nothing else for 10 years! Great device! Care power, top chassis, super ergonomics! Both athletic gait and relaxed tours goes perfect! That will certainly be my!

  3. My dream bike
    Until I saw her in real for the first time, I was critical to her, after the test drive but I’m totally excited. I am a fan of athletic driving style and this bike is a wolf in the sham fur! Feels much easier and the card does not notice. Therefore, to all critics: in real on a work and trial, the bike rocks tremendous

  4. I hope she is not just something for "older"
    I am very convinced of the whole bike, only a test drive is missing. If the test drive was completed successfully and there is not too many disadvantages over my previous Fireblade 1000RR SC59, I will exchange them against the new VFR 1200F. In any case, a thank you in advance to the designers and designers in the house of Honda.

  5. Finally some bad boy
    V-Max and B-King are what experienced 45 drivers desire. But both without disc and luggage possibility, what the machines are degraded to show wheels. Finally, Honda has something for older guys who want some badboy feeling without waiving a true use of the machine. Thank you Honda! You have always been the last, but offers quality and benefits.

    Unfortunately, she has become fat for the hip the good VFR- in my opinion so far the only real sports tourer in the market. It is harmless to hope that Honda may reclaim stripped-down versions.

  8. Fashionable Unfug Upside Down Fork
    Unfortunately, Honda can not do without the fashionable but susceptible upside-down forks on this moped moped on everyday use. Too bad, with the rest of the look you have to go to your own way.

  9. ingenious, but…
    High weight and the rear, especially the exhaust, are really not well suited. But the accessory manufacturers are already guaranteed on the work and there will be certainly shortly after market launch alternatives to the series exhaust.

  10. Honda VFR1200
    I just presented the EUE VFR1200 in Natura. The machine is not beaded at all and the much criticized exhaust is monkey. Not criticize unseen – first examine live and then blasphematically… If there is still to blasphemy. The machine is simply sensational!!! A quantum leap in motor touring, with 3 years warranty – just Honda.

  11. Great part
    In my opinion, Honda builds, in addition to the extremely expensive noble Italians, the best bikes anyway. And this VFR really looks good too sensationally.

  12. Plotting….
    I am confessing BMW driver. We are always hacked around for us (because of our oh so ugly mopeds). Honda shoots the bird here, when I look at myself only the exhaust will be sick. And from the front, this crawl looks as if someone with the thumbs has compressed the cladding. Guaranteed comes from the designer of this machine from Mars….

    Unfortunately, as a longtime and confessed Hondafahrer, I have to agree on late brakes. The tail and especially the exhaust are really a grip to the bathroom – but otherwise the bike is absolutely top.
