| | Introduction | | | Honda's much loved and highly respected VFR debuted in 1986 as the advanced, aluminium-framed VFR750F Super Sport, and has seen several evolutions of its design and specifications since then, culminating in the stunningly styled, high performance VFR and VFR-ABS sports touring masterpieces released in 2002 and now still in production.
Especially popular in Europe, the VFR has consistently been hailed as Honda's premier high-tech sports model, a position crowned by its current version, which features Honda's innovative V4 VTEC valve actuation system. Designed to bring together the superb low-to-midrange torque associated with 2-valve engines and the roaring surge of high-end power produced by the most advanced 4-valve engines, this system automatically switches between 2-valve and 4-valve operation for a unique combination of performance characteristics, and a wide band of exhilarating acceleration with every twist of its throttle.
The VFR has always been know as a well-rounded sports bike that can slice effortlessly through twisty mountain backroads with the fastest Super Sport machines around. However, over its last two generations, as bigger, faster and more single-minded Super Sport models have come to the fore, the VFR has won a growing following as an excellent sports touring bike that can cover long distances in comfort and still deliver exhilarating Super Sport-level performance whenever desired. This peerless combination of performance and comfort has endeared it to a broad cross-section of discerning riders who know and appreciate its high level of quality and broad accessibility. |
