Engineered by Honda for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2013 Honda VFR1200F DCT utilizes a 1237 cc (75.5 cu in) liquid-cooled v4, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 81.0 x 60.0 mm (3.2 x 2.4 inches) with a 12.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the VFR1200F DCT measures 268.1 kg (591 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,544 mm (60.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.93-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.72 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 282 km (175 miles) between fill-ups.
