HONDA VFR1200X (2015-2016) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda VFR1200X, also known as the Honda Crosstourer, was an adventure motorcycle presented at the 2011 EICMA motorcycle show in Milan and launched into the market in 2012. It was introduced to compete in the adventure-touring market with the Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere, Triumph Tiger Explorer, and BMW R1200GS.

The motorcycle packed a retuned version of the engine used in the VFR1200F model with revised fuel injection mapping, camshaft, and valve timing. It produced less power than the VFR1200F, but the output power was focused on lower and middle engine speeds.

In addition, the adventure motorcycle was available with a conventional six-speed manual gearbox and a Dual Clutch Transmission (DTC), which allowed riders to change gears manually without the need for the clutch lever or automatically like an automatic transmission.

In 2015, the Japanese motorcycle maker released the Honda VFR1200X, an adventure motorcycle in the fourth consecutive production year. The bike was loaded with top-notch features that allowed riders to tune it how they wanted.

The bike's diamond twin-spar aluminum frame housed the suspension system, which comprised a 43 mm inverted adjustable fork on the front and a Pro-Link swingarm with an adjustable gas-charged shock absorber on the rear.

Regarding power, the 2015 Honda VFR1200X had installed a 1.237cc four-stroke V4 liquid-cooled engine that delivered 127 hp at 7,750 rpm and 126 Nm (93 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
