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.
In 2013, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VFR1200F DCT, a sport touring motorcycle part of the VFR line of motorcycles in Honda's range. It came with the same package as the previous one but with an additional Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) system.
The motorcycle was available with optional Honda Genuine Accessories, such as 29-liter saddlebags, a 31-liter top box with a quick-detach system, nylon inner bags, a 7-liter tank bag, a sporty three-position adjustable screen integrated into the standard windscreen for more wind protection, heated grips, a center stand, and a wind deflector set.
As for the power figures, the 2013 Honda VFR1200F DTC boasted 170 hp with a peak force at 10,000 rpm and 129 Nm (95 lb-ft) torque at 8,750 rpm from a 1,237cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by a Programmed Fuel Injection System (PGM-FI).
Aesthetically, the bike packed features, such as 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.
