Overview
Bonus $3190 worth of Touring gear With innovative electronic gear shifting, the VFR1200F with dual clutch transmission offers high performance sport riding like no other machine, bringing the future of motorcycles to the here and now. The VFR1200F has now been given a dual clutch transmission, the first time this technology has ever been available in the motorcycle world, featuring an automated clutch and shift operation. This delivers the same level of rider enjoyment as a manual transmission but with the flexibility of a fully electronic option for enhanced sport and comfort riding. This next-generation motorcycle shows one path to the future of motorcycling, with freedom of choice of how to ride being central to the motorcycle experience. Honda believes this is a significant development for the future of motorcycling with greater customer choice.
In October 2009, Honda announced the arrival of the new VFR1200F, which saw an unprecedented combination of sophisticated design and advanced engineering.
The VFR1200F has now been given a dual clutch transmission, the first time this technology has ever been available in the motorcycle world.
The dual clutch transmission features two operating modes. In AT mode, all gear shifts are performed automatically, controlled by a microcomputer with an intelligent electronic shift function.
The rider chooses with the right thumb, either 'D' for maximum fuel efficiency, or 'S', for maximum performance. The clutch and gear shifts are then electronically controlled by the computer giving the rider the freedom to concentrate on enjoying the road ahead.
In MT mode, the rider uses the trigger shifters to select gears. In this mode, the rider can enjoy direct control of gear selection. Shifting up or down is operated by the left forefinger and thumb.
In every operation mode, the dual clutch transmission system offers quicker, smooth gear shifts with dependable traction and seamless acceleration.
