Honda VRF1200F: A Sports Tourer from Honda
The concept is same but this is the next generation of VFR. You can call this new VFR closer to a tourer than a sports bike. It’s for the people who are over 40 but still want to ride a sports bike.
The designing of the motorcycle is awesome. The massive 1237cc engine, 170 bhp of power at 12,500 rpm, the MA and TSUYA slash cut rear end looks are breathtaking. That great V4 roar coming out the exhaust and the new Honda dual layered air management system together makes it a great machine.
A fuel capacity of 18.5 liter with 267 kgs of kerb weight makes it more of a sports tourer than a genuine sports bike. Below is the specification sheet to give you a fair idea what VFR1200F is capable of.
