VFR1200F - Accessories

Looks like the VFR1200F appears to have some nice accessories right from the off.

Ya know, in that photo it don't look half bad, other than it also looks huge..Still think it would look better in a truer red, that and I hope they have a white one at the show, that color is so boring..

 

hey john, we could have some fun with this....by having a word bubble competition for this photo...

example:

she says...."are you a member of greenpeace?"

he says.... " hell yeah...i just saved this here whale...Shamu..."

:biggrin:

 

US only gets red so don't hold your breath for white or silver.

 

OK I'll play how about something like:

She says: Your motorcycle is so big to haul ass bet you make two trips.

 

You mean like this

 

She says "How do you like my new scooter?"
He replies" Kinda fugly but it looks a little like my VFR"

 

he says " I had the bags filled with beer for the trip but I need to hand them out to the harley guys for them to help me put it on the center stand "

 

'Kinda thought it was pregnant........ then I came out one mornin' and she gave birth to these 2 young 'uns!!!

 

I am also impressed with the accessories. I haven't seen a list, but I believe I see heated grips and cruise control in the pictures. I like the looks of the bike, this might be my next sport tourer.

My local dealer is a big dealer, I believe they are called class five with five being the largest type. The current VFR is not selling well there, I think their most recent sale was my purchase of an '08 model in November '08. At that time, they also had an '07 that sat there until a month ago when they sent it to another dealer. The black '09's just sit there, they don't sell either. Ditto for the ST 1300.

Honda had to do something different! I have an '08 VFR which I love, I also have an '08 FJR which I also love. I think this new 1200 VFR could replace both of them.

Seems like they are going after the K class of bikes.

I was really looking for a liter V4, that would have been awesome ... or the V4 800 that they run in MotoGP.

Im still going to have to check this bike out though.

 

Now thats sad to hear, not surprising, the euro versions always have a better mix of colors :crazy:

She saying, Ha ha ha, funny boy, you trying to pick me up on that beast,
Hmm tell ya what, I'll take my VFR750 and you try and keep up. :wink:

 

I think if you don't want a "sport touring" bike than don't buy this "new" sport touring bike, makes sense, buy a 1000RR instead.
Unlike some of the other models in the class it still looks good with out the luggage. It's either a larger muscular street bike or a great highway touring bike. The extra 50lbs is nothing.

If you have a 6th gen or a 5th etc... and love it than your doing great

They made what everybody has been asking for. Remember it's not a "sport Bike" but sure looks sporty.

 

I think it's great that Canada get's this bike in silver and pearl white.
Good replacement for my white '06.

 

You take your ancient 90hp machine and I'll take my 170 hp and see you in the next zip code, baby.

 

I like it.....I have a 2007 800F and love it but this really pushes my buttons as a sport tourer. Does look heavy though, I wonder when we'll see them in Australia?

With luck I'm hoping to have a good proke at it during the Sydney Motorcycle show 21st to 23rd of Nov. :thumbsup:

 

I agree to a point. The problem being that both the 5th and 6th gen bikes are already a bit porky for todays standards so that extra 50lbs is really more like 75-100lbs.

 

Although I have stated that I do like the "new" VFR, from what I have seen and read so far, I have to say it seems like a more suitable replacment for the the ST than a vfr.

I have heard rumours (which we are all used to) that there may be an 800 vfr) who knows?

One thing to remember here is that the VFR has always been the so called "flagship" bike for Honda so it's not a surprise that every bit of possible technology weather we think it's good or not is going to be bolted onto this model.
