Now, that's one motorcycle whose upgrades and revamping is really making us smile: the 2013 2013 Honda VFR1200F. Sporting a lot of nifty features to make it easier to handle without any compromise as far as thrills and performance are concerned, the 2013 VFR1200F not only carries on the heritage of the VFR series, but it also sets some higher standards in its segment.
The power unit has remained the 1236cc V4, with the rear two cylinders positioned closer together for a narrower bike profile in the middle section. The dual-clutch version offers “paddle shifting” and the D and S modes will easily turn the casual daily bike (D mode) into a menacing canyon-carver (S mode), with the traction control system making constant amends to the power deployment.

The 2013 VFR1200F also sports a dual exhaust system, with one outlet always open and the other opening according to the engine rpm and providing the best back-pressure for optimal operation. The new VFR1200F also comes with a low-centerline driveshaft for better mass centralization and combined-ABS braking, with throttle-by-wire for both versions.

Base prices start at $15,999 (€12,060) and $17,499 (€13,190) for the VFR and the Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) one, respectively.
