In 2013, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Honda VFR1200F, a sports-touring machine, in its fifth consecutive production year. The 2013 motorcycle came with a new Metallic Black color scheme.
It was available with many Honda Genuine Accessories, like 29-liter saddlebags, a 31-liter top box, a seven-liter tank bag, an add-one windscreen for better wind protection, heated grips, a lower seat, a center stand, and a wind deflector set.
The Honda VFR1200F was a sports-touring motorcycle manufactured from 2009 until 2017. It was part of Honda's seventh generation of VFR models, which included new technologies such as the first dual-clutch transmission integrated into a motorcycle.
It featured standard fittings, like an aggressive full fairing with parts of the engine left in plain sight, a single headlight, a windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with pillion grab rails, a four-into-one exhaust system with a silencer placed on the right-hand side, and five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels.
For suspension, the motorcycle packed a 41 mm HMAS adjustable inverted telescopic fork mounted on the front and a Pro-Link adjustable gas-charged shock absorber on the rear with excellent suspension performance and handling capabilities.
As for power, the 2013 Honda VFR1200F took its muscles from a 1,237cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered 170 hp with a peak at 10,000 rpm and 129 Nm (95 lb-ft) torque at 8,750 rpm.
