I own one since 2018. Honestly, is a beautiful powerful and reliable bike. However 1) she has vey small fuel tank regarding her fuel consumption and that makes me visit the gas station very often. 2) I have put a central stand, and sometimes I hear that it touches the ground when the road is not perfect. She needs a perfect quality road. She doesn't like imperfections in the road quality. Suspension is good. 3) Brakes: awesome!! 4) The key is very thin and this makes it dangerous to be broken. When opening the top box or the side paneers or the saddle, only the 40% of the key enters in the keylock. That is dangerous to be broken or twisted (I broke one with my arm while it was inside the top box locker!). So be careful with the key!!!!! 5) Definitely a heavy bike. Be careful on small moving or during handling after of before parking. 6) You can not go slow. It seems everyone else goes slow! But with respect!

Honda could put that bike in the showroom today, and it still would look like a new model. Timeless.

I own one right now. And it is just incredible. A sportbike that can do touring. But you have to respect-it, otherwise you will end up dead.

I have a blue 2012 with a tune. I've had the bike to 175mph. She's a monster and an overlooked gem. The engine is flawless. 1237cc v4. So much went into the development of this amazing machine.

I owned one, awesome bike, exhaust and a tune and she’s an absolute weapon. No electronics, only ABS nothing else. Gem of an engine, unique exhaust sound 🏍🏍🏍👍👍👍👍😀😎

It's great to read about other's appreciation for this bike because it's a rather underappreciated motorcycle. The build quality is astounding and I'm sure Honda poured it's finest resources into creating it. It's definitely more "sport" than touring but it's just right for me especially since I live in So. Cal. This bike is made for this place. Mine is a 2013 that I bought in 2017 with only 3k mi.! Right now I've got 49k mi on it. it's blk/silver with a ton of carbon fiber goodies. The best mod was the device that is a plug & play that allows for full power in 1st and 2nd. It's a MUST HAVE that only works for the manual trans model. I have the stock exhaust and muffler but with a cool carbon fiber cover that replaces the chrome cover. As for the fuel capacity I find I can rip along for over 90 min and still have plenty of gas. By the time I'm ready for gas I'm more than ready to empty the bladder. If I was going to travel where fuel stations are far between I imagine that I'd take a spare gas container. Between my '89 F1200 & my 90. VFR750f, both of which I put over 100k mi. on, It's been my favorite sport touring bike and I've owned a ton of bikes. Nothing compares. What's really cool is that with all the luggage, side bags and top case, I can still split lanes here in CA with no problem. So many bikes are just too wide with luggage attached to go between traffic. For road trips I add a tank bag and soft tail bag for the passengers seat and I'll be able to carry all I'd ever need for weeks of traveling. The only downside is that if I ever decided to live in any other state besides CA I'd probably sell it because I could never ride it like I do here where at any place (but school zones) you can blaze around and actually USE the power. Have Fun & Ride Safe! :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLCPiMt-msiVXXk.html

Lovely! Cheers for more awesome and exciting rides!🥂❤️✨

Also a good thing to know is how the bike diverts the heat from you. Even if you drive with high temperatures, you don’t get burned by the heat of the engine. Really fantastic 👍🏻

Special Thanks to Dark Visor Moto Crew member Tobram for letting me test ride his awesome bike 😎 Read more about DVMC on www.darkvisor.se 💪

I got a black one with the dct. Love it, went riding in the alps this summer. Great bike and plenty of power when you need it

I always loved the sound of the vfr models👌

Good locking and really good sounding bike 😁👍

I too just recently bought one having a great deal of fun with the 1200.

Great Sound! Love it..

Great video. I have exactly the same model, 2012 DCT. Live 6 months SA & 6 months UK. There is NO better performance long distance super comfortable and extremely well planted machine than this shaft driven beauty. It ticks all the boxes for me. It was never created to be a Blackbird replacement . For someone who needs power on tap you will go very far to find something that rides so smoothly, is so predictable in handling but yet allow that needle one iota past 8500rpms and she starts barking & howling as she screams through to 12000 when she activates the full brunt of her V4. Yes the fuel tank is a measly 18.5l, and yes she's a heavy girl, but like I said- I haven't yet ridden a bike that offers this much long (&short) commuting excellence build upon an extremely well thought out chassis and Honda durability. Also have the BMW GS 1250 and like the X Diavel from Ducati. But that isn't nearly as practical or comfortable. The best part is the price. The quality and performance vs the price for a well kept 2015 model today is an absolute steal. Great bike! Thanks for sharing.

Had mine a year now had plenty off vfrs in the past before the 1200f had a 2015 model vfr 800 which i really liked the 1200f was the only model off the range which i had not had so changed it for currant 1200f.My view is the 1200f is the best vfr off the range very much like a 800 to ride with loads more grunt and for a bigger bike its very nimble and brakes are very good handling is spot on aswell build quality is top notch two .

I own one too! Great bike! Endless engine but it doesn't like to go slowly 😜

Great machine plenty of power and confortable

Very nice style of review, enjoyed it.. Flapper valve disconnected, judging by sound 👍

Amazing bike! I had a 2013 manual bike and just sold it to a mate. Fast as anything!

Proud owner of a red 2011. It,s a real nice bike to ride. And very quick but heavy

Great bike!

Im from central Europe My first bike. Candy red with silver. In 3rd gear pulls like hell. Satan of bike. Its remapped and on dyno turned 175hp on rear wheel. 2010 no TC only CBS wirh ABS just done major service on it 43000km now. Bike sat for 6years at prev. owner Bought it with 26000km 3 months ago and immediatly fell in love with it. Perfect bike for me,though it wants you to go fast and sometimes its hard to behave yourself but eventhough had some close calls...didnt made me sell it. Im 6,2'' weight about 180 and it doesnt feel heavy for me,only the thing is..after VFR sport liter bike feels light comparing to mine.

Fantastic, you got all the stats spot on, so many so called professional reviewers would downplay the stats. I had a 2010 model which had the restrictions in first and second, I heard the 2012 model did away with this and added traction control.

Nc video , I got one but dct , try get some mod on and a ecu flash to unlock the full power of it :)

I have had one for 6 years it has been great. I don't like to attract attention so I get 57 mpg (imperial) on the open road. Mine has a 19 litre tank, an extra 10km woo woo.

I am trying to find one now!

I've always liked that bike, fabulous engine. Was expensive new here in the UK and didn't sell that well. Think overall weight and shortish tank range put some people off.

Coffman exhaust sounds superbly better than almost every exhaust i’ve heard so far. Deeper, throatier, and louder than my Two Brothers

Very cool. Great video. Awesome bike. Love my vtx1800c.

I have 2011 model really good for touring .

I like it!!!!

Seems like a pretty nice touring bike. The exhaust seems ok for stock, as compared to my FJ-09 that sounded like a sewing machine lol. Ride safe bro.

Got a 2011 Dct which has been flashed and its crazy quick, so easy to ride fast. I'd disagree about the steering I think it turns in exactly like the 800 with very little bar input. Tyres do make a big difference on the 1200 though so I wonder what it was shod with.

I have one! Its phenomenal! Uncomphy riding position but, fast.

Absolutely a fantastic bike, I've got a 2012 and still have a driver's license. The guy I bought it from told me he got it up to a hundred mph once, hahahaha. I can't even keep it under a 100.

She's a sports tourer. Stability is a very good characteristic to have. Countersteering do be a thing ;)

This bike looks like my vfr1200f. I have been riding it since 2016. Bought it used.

I'm thinking about getting one of these...I currently have a Suzuki gsxs1000 gt and as much as I love it, the wind buffeting is HORRENDOUS! So my question is, what is this like and how much wind coverage does the windshield give?

Siempre me ha gustado esa moto. Me pregunto si valdrá la pena comprarla hoy en día

hello everyone I want to inquire about vfr1200. I would like to buy a used 2013 with 35,000 km at a good price, but I'm afraid it consumes too much. I travel 200 km at a time on mountain roads, can that be fine or will I have difficulty? Thanks for your attention

В октябре купил себе такой же, цвет в цвет, но с 3 кофрами. Едет бодро=)

I'm quite keen to get my hands on a Crosstourer. That V4 sound with upright comfiness...

On ressent bien les sensations lors des accélérations ? Le poids ne se fait pas trop sentir en courbe ? Je me tâte pour ma sortie de A2…

Great bike but I can't get over the fact that they're shaft driven, not a bad idea for a touring bike for sure but kinda seems to be a case of "because why not" 😂 theorizing a bit but maybe the shaft drive is the sole reason why they're restricted to around 250 kph? after all Busas could hit 300 even with restrictions and they didn't even have as much power as that Honda IIRC 🤔 Hope you get to 100k soon DV 💪

Simply the best Road Bike ever created! Small tank? who cares! I get over 360 km from mine in Australia, ready for a break before then anyway! Best reliable Honda on the road.. period.!!

I ve been riding a 2012 fireblade, now sold it and planning to pick a used 2015 vfr1200. Will i feel underpowered after riding a Supersport?

Fuel gage isn't very accurate on mine. I panic and find out I still have have a tank

I had a 2010 and I traded it for an Africa Twin when it rusted away - I treated it quite badly. I wish I'd just traded it for a newer VFR1200F as I miss the awesome power from 70mph+ and the way it eats up long distances. It's heavy and the fuel tank is laughable, but the engine is an absolute peach.

I like over 1000 cc superbikes

This bike is made to be driven not puts around

I don’t see that as a tourer with that riding position
