Forever Powered by Dreams Honda and the world of racing. It’s the test-bed that enables us to push the limits of performance for the Honda technologies of the future.
At Honda, we’re driven by the Power of Dreams. It encourages us to challenge convention and to think in new ways. That’s why our motorcycles, cars, ATVs, marine engines and power equipment products are
Race-Bred Performance Sports Touring Exhilaration
winning acclaim the world over. Honda is leading the way in engine technology and product innovation, and is all set to revolutionise the jet sector. Then again, wouldn’t you expect that from the world’s largest engine manufacturer and the number one in motorcycles, respected for its engineering excellence and renowned ‘Honda’ performance.
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.
Advanced V4-VTEC Engine - Unique 782cm3 fuel-injected DOHC V4 engine with a unique two-stage VTEC valve actuation system provides a seamless and even spread of satisfying power. VTEC disabled

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 while meeting strict EURO-3 emissions regulations.

Pure Riding Excitement Inspired Riding Control
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.
Integrated Instrument Panel - Provides an easy view of operating conditions, including ambient temperature, fuel consumption and other readings.
Quad Headlights and Clear Indicators - The VFR has a graduated windscreen with a tapered nose that features brilliant quad multi-reflector headlights and clear lens indicators for sleek modern styling and a narrow front profile. HMAS Front Forks - Rigid and compliant 43mm Honda Multi-Action System cartridge-type front forks combine with the progressive Pro-Link rear suspension to guarantee a smooth and responsive ride.

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.
