VFR 800 F

2001 Honda VFR 800 F Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2001 Honda VFR 800 F sport touring motorcycle, Honda relies on a 782 cc (47.7 cu in) v4, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 106 HP (77.4 kW) at 10,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 80 Nm (59 lb-ft) at 8,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 135.5 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (8,750 rpm) and peak power (10,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the VFR 800 F measures 208 kg (459 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.51 HP/kg (1.96 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,440 mm (56.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 21-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 235 km/h (146 mph).
