That is not actually a Honda VFR, but a Honda VTR1000F. More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_VTR1000F

.. and no, there is no transmission fluid.

Great bikes, I own one! Usually called a VTR1000F or Super Hawk in the US.

Just a warning, these bikes have a reputation for breaking the front cam chain tensioner which can lead to bent valves. Installing a manual tensioner is cheap easy insurance against that.
