All 21- Purchase Advice ... VFR 1200 or ST1300 VFR800, nice but not quite enough power. ST1300, all day capable, but heavy and boring. VFR1200, especially the DCT, way more exciting than the others, but it's more sport than tour. As in seat, bars and riding…
- PR3 Review I have had PR3's on my VFR1200 for around 8k miles now and they're only just showing signs of needing replacing soon. Upto recently they have been superb, good turn in, better cornering giving way more confidence and no…
- Long Term Owner's Report - DCT at 15000 miles I've had my DCT for 14 months and 10k miles and I am so happy with mine too. Although I have finally changed the seat for a locally-made replacement (probably not too dissimilar to a Corbin), as I'm off to France in 10…
- New Shoes: Pilot Road 3 Impressions I used PR2's for many miles on my old FJR1300 and used to get 6-7k miles out of a rear. I've got my first set of PR3's on the VFR, having ditched the OEM Bridgestones at 4.5k miles as seriously horrible in the wet..…
- The Gentleman's VFR [image: View Post]Dutchy, on 30 July 2011 - 11:42 AM, said: The ride is plush, but never wobbly (XT500 at speed anyone? ) My 4th gen feels more "planted", I suppose the higher seat (15cm more than a VFR800) and the…
- Crossrunner - First ride impression The write up in the UK's MCN was a bit indifferent, and you can see why. Just an upright seating position with less power, spoilt by peg position. Yet a friend of mine had a test ride on one yesterday and quite liked…
- Honda bags or no I have the Honda bags because I use them all the time and never really need to take them off. The LH pannier will take my full face helmets, but not my flip-front. I would suggest you stick with the Givi if you are just…
- Do you want to know why the VFR 1200 is underpowered? [image: View Post]PolarBear, on 28 April 2011 - 09:22 PM, said: I think it's another conspiracy from the governments (which are all becoming more socialist these years, look at medicare!). Soon, they'll take over our…
- New Owner VFR1200 DCT [image: View Post]cruzn1961, on 15 April 2011 - 03:48 PM, said: Absolutely! The funny thing is, reading the manual would give you the impression Sport mode takes off quicker. Maybe something is lost in the translation,…
- Question on Auto Trans Can you share your impressions for the transmission? It is brilliant. You select drive mode on the RH handlebar switch. I always set off in D mode, as I have a gravel driveway and my road is quite twisty, muddy and…
- Honda Cross-Tourer Looks nice! And the idea of the DCT is just cool for hauling ass. But I just cant get over how fragile it all looks after riding around Africa with BMW's GS. I think I wouldn't even think of doing some of the stuff I've…
- How Many Bars Are You Showing [image: View Post]stinkyfinger, on 24 October 2010 - 12:02 PM, said: Usually I see 3 bars during a hot day. I get 2 bars in the morning and in the evening when the weather is cooler. I also get 3 bars when I've been…
- How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear Dutchgixxer Dutchgixxer Did you see that youtube video of the kid that throws down his brand new gixxer as he guns it out of the dealership? Rear wheel just spins out like the tire was made out of plastic! Then down she…
- Powercommander for VFR1200f [/quote] If the lower rpm HP neutering can be fixed, i will be riding a VFR1200F within weeks . It's the only bike i have been excited about in a good number of years. [/quote] It's really a minor issue in second, and…

- Does the U.S. Version of the VFR1200F come with a tool kit??? [image: View Post]V4 Rosso, on 29 September 2010 - 06:22 AM, said: [image: View Post]Noddy, on 29 September 2010 - 05:53 AM, said: The tools for my KTM Supermoto are superb in comparison, proper cast spanners (not made…
- Does the U.S. Version of the VFR1200F come with a tool kit??? The toolkit for the VFR is a bit of an ornament - it's not like you can get the wheels off with it if you got a puncture. And all the bodywork snaps together... The tools for my KTM Supermoto are superb in comparison,…

- FIRST YEAR BIKE FEARS I have no problem with just buying a bike and enjoying it. You shouldn't have a "New Model Phobia" about the VFR12 because it's a Honda and you get a 3 year warranty. As for the torque - I know what you mean about the…
