2010 Honda VFR 1200F boasts a 1,237cc liquid-cooled V4 engine good for 172 hp, impressively-sculpted body panels sitting atop a vacuum-molded cast aluminum chassis, Throttle By Wire for increased throttle response, an optional Dual Clutch Automatic Transmission with paddle-style shifters, a next-generation shaft drive system, and more.

Just watched the paddle shifting mode on the optional transmission. Weird shit.

The "and more..." is a $20k price tag.

Would you like to make a bet on that?

Hmmm. Okay, I bet you Al's dick.

That ugly piece of shit has been making the whipping boy detail for weeks on a few other forums including one with a dozen or so hardcore "real" VFR fans.


"Real" VFR = gear driven cams mutherfucker!


They are clearly targeting the Grumpy Old Fuck BMW group with this over sized turd but they will miss the mark with the minimalist litre bike style tail section smashed into the fugly Gold Wing style front fairing.

EPIC PHAIL!

The dual clutch transmission is pretty sweet. Particularly when you see how little chassis upset there is during gear changes (in automatic mode.).

Other than that: Meh. I think it missed the mark.

not worth very much accept to a few truckers in Winnipeg.

Notice how Al introduces the subject of "pegging" into the conversation so flawlessly?

I reckon the thing looks fugly and a bit of a barge!! Not for me, plus it's a H*#?a!!

Shaft drive
Automatic transmission (at least it's optional)
1200cc
Rounded corners on the fairings (dual fairing desing?)
No undertail
No V-tec (not mentioned in any spec I saw)

Do Not Want.

I'll stick to the 6th gen thank you very much.

If they made it look more like a Blackbird, and less like an FJ1200 I'd be more interested.
