Changes

The Honda VFR1200F was based on a specially designed 4-cylinder V-twin liquid-cooled engine with a volume of 1237 cc, producing 173 hp. power and 129 Nm of torque. The layout of the engine is such that the camber angle of the cylinders is not 90 °, but 76 °. In addition, the pairs of cylinders are not strictly opposite each other, but are spaced apart on the sides. Also, due to the change in the crankshaft angle and the sequence of flashes in the cylinders, the motor is practically devoid of vibrations, and at the same time does not have a balance shaft. The timing system is chain-driven and the valves are rocker-driven, allowing only one camshaft per cylinder head.

Other features of the motorcycle include an aluminum frame, adjustable suspensions, a cantilever rear swingarm (which is a signature feature of almost all VFR motorcycles), powerful combined 6-piston radial brakes with ABS, an 18.5 liter fuel tank, cardan drive and 268 kg of curb weight. masses (on the version with a manual transmission).
