Overview
The Honda VFR 1200F is a sport tourer from the VFR family, produced from 2010 through 2019. In 2019, its liquid-cooled 1237 cm³ four-stroke V-four made 170 hp (127 kW), with 129 Nm of torque at 8750 rpm; wet weight is 267 kg.
The 815 mm seat height can make it harder for shorter riders to get both feet down, and the 267 kg wet weight calls for more effort when maneuvering at low speed. Fuel consumption is 6.70 liters/100 km; with an 18.90-liter tank, the estimated full-tank range is about 282 km. Shaft drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment, while adjustable front preload and rear preload and rebound damping let you tune the suspension. ABS is fitted at both ends.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Shaft final drive
It removes the need to clean and adjust a drive chain.
Adjustable suspension
Front spring preload and rear spring preload and rebound damping can be adjusted to suit the load and road.
ABS brakes
ABS at the front and rear helps control braking when traction is reduced.
Things to consider
Heavy at walking pace
Its 267 kg wet weight takes more effort to balance during slow-speed maneuvers.
Tall seat
At 815 mm, the seat may make it difficult for shorter riders to plant both feet.

How to measure
Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.
Estimated ground reach
Both feet likely flat
You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
