2013 Honda VFR1200F DCT, 2013 Honda VFR1200F DCT The Bike of Tomorrow-Today Where do you even start with a machine like Honda s revolutionary VFR1200F? Here s a machine that showcases innovation and technology like a motorcycle transported from the future. Start with its super-compact Unicam® design 1237cc V4 engine, fueled by Honda s first-ever Throttle By Wire system. Traction Control? You bet. And together with Honda s Combined Braking with standard ABS, that makes the VFR one of our most impressive machines when it comes to dealing with challenging traction under acceleration or braking. But perhaps most striking is the VFR s Honda Dual-Clutch Automatic Transmission: Six speeds, two clutches, and your choice of changing gears with a pair of F1-style paddle shifters or letting the bike shift itself. And there s also a second version of the VFR1200F equipped with a conventional six-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch. Behold the Future Honda has always built its reputation on innovative, breakthrough engineering and design. And nowhere is this forward-thinking stamp more indelible than on the VRF1200F, a showcase of technological advancement that has one goal: to create the most complete and perfect sport riding experience ever. From nose to tail, from ergonomics to engine size to exhaust placement to bodywork design, there s no other machine like it. Which, of course, is exactly what you d expect from a Honda. Warp Drive Drawing on 30 years of V4 technology and racing success, Honda designers gave the VFR1200F what is surely the most advanced streetbike engine yet: a fuel-injected, liquid-cooled 1237cc, 76-degree, V4 brimming with low-end torque. Overall, it's more compact than the engine from the 781cc Interceptor. Performance Art The VFR1200F s layered concept fairing offers a smooth, unified, fastener-free surface right off the MotoGP circuit. Never have aerodynamics and aesthetics worked so well together. Combined Braking System w/ ABS The VFR's Combined Braking System (CBS) with ABS melds the benefits of Anti-Lock Braking (ABS) with the measured application of front brakes when the rear brake lever is used. During front brake lever activation, all the right-side caliper pistons are applied, along with four of the pistons on the left side. When the rear brake is applied, the other two left-side pistons are actuated. To maintain equal braking force when using just the front brake, the right-side pistons are slightly smaller than the left-side pistons. Differential Cylinder Bank Layout Compact engine size was critical, so our engineers placed the VFR powerplant's V4 rear cylinders side by side but close together, while the front cylinders are more widely spaced. This makes the engine narrower near the rider's feet and allows the entire chassis and seating area to feature a distinctly
