Designed for those who crave speed and comfort, this motorcycle is a perfect blend of sportiness and touring capabilities, making it a versatile option for a wide range of riders. At the heart of the VFR1200F DCT is a powerful 1237cc V4 engine that delivers a remarkable balance of torque and horsepower.

The advanced double-disc ABS front brakes with floating discs and six-piston calipers provide exceptional stopping power, while the single-side swingarm rear suspension ensures stability and agility. With its adjustable front and rear suspension, riders can fine-tune their setup to match their riding style or road conditions. Additional conveniences such as electric start, a spacious fuel tank with an 18.93-liter capacity, and a comfortable seat height of 815 mm make the VFR1200F a bike that can handle both daily commutes and long weekend getaways with ease. **
