Whatever you demand of it, the hi-tech VFR excels. Exhilarating when

you’re hitting the perfect racing-line through hairpins, and delivering

impeccable road manners and comfort when you wind it up on the

open road, nothing else compares. Now even more refined, the

VFR further consolidates its position as one of the greatest

sports tourers ever built.

At the heart of this incredible virtuosity is the VFR’s legendary

782cm3 fuel-injected DOHC, V4-VTEC engine. With its unique

two-stage, 2-valve/4-valve operation it provides maximum power

delivery throughout the rev range and superb fuel efficiency. Now

with its switching point lowered to 6,600rpm, the VFR’s power output

throughout is smooth and seamless, punching out raunchy torque from

the turn of the key to the red line without the slightest hint of protest.

And with the subtlest of refinements to its modern aero-styling, the

result, as always with the VFR, is perfection on two wheels. All of

which further ensure its standing as the premier sports riding

and touring machine of the 750cm3 class.

Forever Powered by Dreams

Twin Exhausts - The VFR’s distinctive triangular profile, dual ‘Centre-Up’ exhaust system features

a new sophisticated hairline finish on canister covers. PGM-FI - The Programmed Fuel Injection

system combines with a HECS3 oxygen-sensing catalyser system to ensure high performance

Pure Riding Excitement

Inspired Riding Control

Pillion Comfort and Safety - A deeply padded pillion seat, well-positioned

foot pegs and shapely grab rails which can be detached for solo riding,

ensure the pillion passenger enjoys the ride. Seat Cowl - Colour-matched,

rear seat cowl gives the VFR a sleeker, more aerodynamic and racier image

when riding solo. HISS - The Honda Ignition Security System completely

disables the engine, and can only be started by the bike’s original two

certified programmed keys. A flashing LED helps deter thieves.

When it comes to exciting and enjoyable sports touring, the

exceptional performance of the refined VFR re-writes the rulebook.

Take it through the stop and start of rush-hour traffic and the VFR

will deliver immediate and responsive bursts of acceleration and

razor-sharp control. Find the open road and hear it roar as speeds

rise and the engine comes on cam, emphatically blasting out that

same gutsy torque with every twist of the throttle.

The VFR is a true sports tourer machine providing one of the finest

balances of top performance and overall riding comfort to be found

on two wheels. And with its lightweight aluminium ‘Pivotless’ frame,

single-sided Pro-Arm swingarm and Dual Combined Brake System,

which is also available with ABS to deliver the impressive braking

performance that European riders demand for continental weather

conditions, the handling of the VFR and VFR-ABS is as precise and

confident as the power delivery itself. Sometimes an ultra-agile

commuter, sometimes an exhilarating sports tourer, but always taking

you to new heights of performance, the VFR’s split personality comes

together in one whole, mind-blowing, riding experience for rider

and pillion alike.

Honda Multi-Action System cartridge-type front forks combine with the progressive

Pro-Link rear suspension to guarantee a smooth and responsive ride.
