History
The Honda VFR 1200F is a touring motorcycle category of the manufacturer Honda.
The fully motorcycle was on 23 Presented in October at the Tokyo Motor Show, and as the successor to the VFR 800 FI or the CBR 1100 XX Blackbird in the market. Production began in 2009 in Kumamoto, Japan the factory code SC63.

The Honda VFR 1200F is a sport motorcycle category of the Japanese Honda.
The fully enclosed was on 23 Presented in October 2009 at the Motor Show, and 2010 as the to the VFR 800 FI or the CBR 1100 XX Blackbird established in the Production began in October in Kumamoto, Japan under the code SC63.
The liquid-cooled engine produced from cc engine rated at 127 kW (173 Above a speed of 4000 to nominally 90 percent of peak available.
The transversely mounted V-engine up with a technically unusual arrangement: the cylinder bank is 76 ° instead of the usual 90 °, the two rear are arranged in the center, the front are placed on the outer side. In to achieve an optimum mass a firing interval was chosen by 28 ° 180 ° firing interval angle to minus twice the cylinder → 180 ° 2 × 76 ° = 28 °).
In contrast to the usual uniform 180 ° order (180 ° firing two cylinders are fired in rapid with 104 ° spacing (so-called principle) here. Due to this of cylinder angle firing and firing no balance shafts unwanted vibrations are needed. The Unicam valve control a chain driven camshaft per bank operated via tappets via two intake valves and two exhaust per cylinder Roller.
The engine despite 455 cc more displacement slightly higher, and substantially than the 90 ° V4 engine VFR 800 The four have a bore diameter of 81 mm, a of the pistons of 60 mm at a compression ratio of
The bike accelerates in 3.0 seconds 0 to 100 km / h in 8.9 seconds to 200 km / h and reaches a top speed limited 250 km/h.1
The average consumption is 5.9 liters per 100 km at a speed of 130 km / h The tank has a volume of 18.5 The manufacturer recommends the use of unleaded gasoline with an octane of at least 95 octane and gives a range of 314 km, at. The exhaust gas treatment is by a regulated catalytic converter and the emission limit values the emission standard Euro-third
The controller (german Engine Unit ECU) controls the pressure, injection time and the as a function of engine speed, and the coolant temperature. In addition, the for the actuators of the throttle valve are using a control unit generates the throttle potentiometer. technique, which requires no cables, and is drive-by-wire or in this called Throttle-by-wire.
At the same time, the ECU takes depending on the throttle position to the for the valve in the upper mouth of the that opens 5000-6000 and provides a sudden power
For the first time in a production is optionally available for the VFR 1200F a clutch transmission (eng. clutch transmission, DCT). the car, the transmission selects not on the shaft-load the next gear but only switches when the or the automatic function gives the A switching process takes 500 ms on longer than current with Doppelkupplungsgetriebe.2, but the Honda DCT can taken off the gas and then downshift to faster than a car double-clutch
The front wheel is delayed by two mounted six-piston fixed brakes, the braking forces are via two floating brake discs a diameter of 320 mm. The rear wheel is by a two-piston floating caliper, disc has a diameter of 276 mm. Front and brakes work in conjunction, by a common pressure modulator. operating the hand brake of the six-piston brake caliper and right of the left to move.
Upon actuation of the foot pedal, the piston of the two rear caliper and, in addition, with the ABS pressure modulator solenoid control valves, the upper piston of the two driven left caliper.
In the low-maintenance drive swingarm is integrated. The pin is positioned above and behind the universal joint propeller the shaft therefore does not run parallel to the longitudinal axis of the arm. A sliding piece at velocity joint before the secures the compression and rebound of the wheel to the required length of the propeller shaft.

Three absorbers have been in the drive train on the shaft the clutch and the transmission output and the universal joint before. The is based on a progressive lever and a central spring strut the frame.
The starter battery has a capacity of 12 Ah and the electric starter. The dynamo an electric power of 570 watts.
In the year 2012 the engine have been optimized and fuel consumption by changes in the fuel injection. The tank was enlarged and modified the seat and the LED turn signals. Traction was added and optimizes the electronic of the optional dual clutch
The machine is available in three painting 2010:
The machine was in 2012 in four finish
The front merges into the panel, which in turn with the tank. Flow-optimized, of wind protection, stable position. Ideal conditions. But of the legendary CBR1100XX Super will be disappointed, because the VFR its possibilities only to a maximum of 250 km / h

With the new VFR 1200 F Honda has a technology platform on the 17-inch which successfully bridge the gap sport and tour kicks as but it clearly emphasizes the sporty Quality meets the high of the VFR tour clientele, which is to three-year warranty and customer-friendly km extended maintenance intervals
— Focus 4
The long-awaited VFR has a good bike, very even. An excellent but it is not. The characteristic is more of a hindrance, the features. The 1200s shines many technological specialties.
In three-year warranty and service 12000. The engine characteristic is the driving befitting only the 4,000 mark. Under rpm, there is atypical for displacement class before
