The harmonic growl of the VFR1200F’s flexible and responsive V4 motor may rekindle the emotions inspired by previous
iconic VFRs, but its unique ‘heartbeat’ engine feel and an unrivalled level of manageability set the new VFR apart, not only
from its forbears - but also from every bike currently available.
For 2012, the VFR1200F is available in two exciting new colour versions, selected to emphasise the highly-polished look,
smooth texture and unique shapes and layers of its bodywork.

Seal Silver Metallic
There is something utterly compelling about the V4 engine of the Honda VFR1200F. A remarkable blend of raw power,
never-ending torque and advanced mass centralisation. All expressed in the beat and feel that only a V4 configuration
from Honda can deliver.
The VFR1200F introduced Honda Dual Clutch Transmission, the world’s first fully automatic dual clutch transmission for
large-displacement motorcycles. To respond to rider demands through a broad range of conditions and situations, the
transmission offers three operating modes: two full-auto modes (D-mode for relaxed, fuel efficient operation and S-mode for
sports riding), and a six-speed gear-select mode for full rider control via electronic trigger-shift controls that deliver the same
shifting response as a manual transmission.

the
power of
dreams
The first product to bear the Honda name was an auxiliary engine for
bicycles. Adding power to the bicycle made life a bit easier for people,
and made getting around more fun. Right from the beginning, Honda was
about creating things that people truly need – things that had never before
existed. This takes independent thinking, audacity and imagination to follow
ideas wherever they lead. It also takes determination; the passion, tenacity
and innovation to never allow the dream to die, and to shape dreams into
products for the world.
To realise this dream as the world prepares for a low-carbon future, Honda
is leading the way in addressing the needs of people all over the globe with
advanced fuel infrastructure. From bikes to cars, boats to planes and even
to the way we fuel our homes and workplaces, our passion for innovation
and our desire to make life better for all just goes from strength to strength.
