Honda VFR1200F

The Honda VFR1200F has been awarded the 2010 MCN Best Tourer award. The bike was also among the top 10 best selling bikes in the United Kingdom in the Sports Tourer category.

“The VFR1200F brings Honda’s new styling concept to the masses. The Dual Clutch Transmission push-button gear-change transforms the way we ride, making you think that changing gear with your foot should be firmly left in the past,” MCN judges said about the VFR1200F.

Whats special about the VFR1200F is its dual clutch transmission which allows for easy trigger shifts. It provides the rider with the option of two automatic modes- D for full automatic, fuel efficient drive and S-mode for spirited riding. This is the first product that offers both auto and manual options on the same machine.

“It is always rewarding for Honda to be recognised within the industry with awards, and by our customers with top sales figures, and even more so for a bike such as the VFR1200F which pushed new boundaries in motorcycle design and technology,” stated Steve Martindale, General Manager of Honda (UK) Motorcycles.
