Overview
The Honda VFR 1200FA DCT is a Sport Tourer from the VFR family, produced in 2010. Its liquid-cooled 76° V-4 displaces 1237 cm³, and the motorcycle weighs 278 kg.
The dual-clutch transmission provides automatic and manual shifting across six speeds, while shaft drive avoids a chain that needs cleaning and adjustment. ABS is fitted to both brakes; the front suspension has adjustable spring preload, and the rear shock’s preload can be adjusted remotely. The 810 mm seat height and 278 kg weight are important fit and maneuvering considerations, especially when moving the motorcycle at low speed.
