Overview
The Honda VFR 1200F DCT is a Sport Tourer produced from 2011 through 2016. For 2016, its liquid-cooled 1237 cm³ V-four makes 129 Nm of torque at 875 rpm, and the motorcycle weighs 268.1 kg wet.
The 815 mm seat height may make it harder for shorter riders to put both feet flat at a stop, while the 268.1 kg wet weight can make low-speed maneuvering demanding. The 18.9-liter tank gives a calculated range of about 266 km; its shaft final drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Shaft final drive
It removes routine chain cleaning and adjustment from the maintenance routine.
ABS brakes
ABS is fitted at both ends, helping prevent wheel lockup during hard braking.
Adjustable suspension
The fork has adjustable spring preload, and the rear shock adds remote preload and rebound adjustment for setup changes.
Things to consider
Substantial wet weight
At 268.1 kg wet, it can take more effort to maneuver at parking-lot speeds.
Limited calculated range
About 266 km on a full tank means longer rides can require relatively frequent fuel stops.
Seat height
The 815 mm seat may make it difficult for shorter riders to get both feet securely on the ground.

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.
