Overview
The Honda VFR 1200FA is a sport tourer from the 2010 model year. Its liquid-cooled 76-degree V-4 displaces 1,237 cm³ and uses programmed fuel injection; the motorcycle weighs 268 kg.
The 810 mm seat height sets the rider’s reach to the ground, while the 268 kg weight can make low-speed maneuvering more demanding. The 18.9 L tank gives it that much fuel capacity, and its suspension has useful adjustment: the 43 mm front fork has adjustable spring preload, while the rear gas-charged shock has remote preload adjustment. The shaft final drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Shaft final drive
It eliminates the need to clean and adjust a drive chain.
Adjustable suspension preload
The front fork and rear shock both allow spring preload adjustment, with the rear adjuster operated remotely.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speeds
At 268 kg, it can take more effort to maneuver slowly or move around by hand.
810 mm seat height
The seat height may make it harder for shorter riders to get both feet firmly on the ground.
