New 2012 Honda VFR1200F
Comfortable dual-seat seat NEW
For 2012 the seat of the VFR1200F – a supportive, vacuum-moulded dual-seat design – has been re-designed to offer improved seat grip with new stitching and improved quality with a new seat coating finish. It features a flat and expansive seating area, with the space to adopt a range of different seating positions. This improves comfort during long days on the road. For the pillion, easy-reach grab handles and footrests ideally positioned for comfort help create a reassuring sense of security.
The distinctive VFR1200F has been developed even further for 2012. The engine now offers even greater performance, with significantly more refined torque between 2000rpm and 4000rpm. Changes to the PGM-FI fuel injection system, combined with increased tank capacity, mean the VFR1200F can now travel more than 300 kilometres (186 miles) on a single tank of petrol. The optional Dual Clutch Transmission has been improved with new functionalities and a more comfortable seat and the adoption of reassuring Traction Control System further enhance the bike’s all-round capabilities.
Launched in 2009, the VFR1200F was developed to deliver a blend of sports and touring capabilities using the latest technologies. It was a clean-sheet interpretation of the ultimate road-sport machine – a concept driven by extensive understanding of customer needs and the adoption of state-of-the-art technologies.
In pursuit of heightened levels of control and feedback, the VFR1200F adopted the latest race-track bred technologies, adapted and evolved to create a machine that can be many things to many riders. The harmonic growl of the flexible and responsive V4 motor rekindles the emotions inspired by previous iconic VFRs, with its unique ‘heartbeat’ engine feel and an unrivalled level of refined performance.
Key upgrades for 2012
Stronger torque NEW
For 2012 the V4’s already impressive torque has been made stronger still, with increased drive between 2000rpm and 4000rpm, making the 2012 VFR1200F even more fun to ride.
Improved fuel efficiency NEW
Thanks to increased engine efficiency and tank size, the 2012 VFR1200F Is now even more fuel efficient.
TC Traction control NEW
For 2012 the VFR1200F also benefits from Honda’s Traction Control System (TCS), which helps ensure the power is put down optimally and securely even on surfaces with limited grip.
Dual Clutch Transmission NEW
The VFR1200F was the first motorcycle to feature Honda’s innovative Dual Clutch Transmission, which has been significantly upgraded for the new machine. Honda’s Dual Clutch Transmission ensures even smoother and seamless gear changes in any of its three riding modes . Using two electronically controlled clutches, the system offers the choice of manual gear shifting and two fully automatic modes, one for general use (D-mode) and another for high performance riding (S-mode). The VF1200F’s Dual Clutch Transmission also features new software logic with added functionality.
