Engineered by Honda for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2010 Honda VFR1200F features a 1237 cc (75.5 cu in) liquid-cooled v4, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 170.3 HP (124.3 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 129 Nm (95.2 lb-ft) at 8,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 137.7 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (8,750 rpm) and peak power (10,000 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 VFR1200F measures 267 kg (589 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.64 HP/kg (1.57 kg per horsepower). 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 1,545 mm (60.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.5-liter (4.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
