2011 Honda VFR800A VTEC

Introduction

Evolved for the road from a racing heritage, the VFR800 is renowned for its refined balance of explosive performance, superb comfort and agile handling. Its unique fuel-injected V4-VTEC engine delivers an even and accessible spread of power via a 2-stage valve actuation system. It rewards every riding style with swift response and strong acceleration.

The engine’s considerable power is harnessed in a rigid and light-handling ‘Pivotless’ twin-spar aluminium frame. The engine is incorporated as a stressed member ensuring light, responsive handling, unaffected by rear wheel and swingarm stresses. The single-sided cast aluminium Pro-Arm swingarm is mounted directly to the rear of the engine cases and supported by a progressive Pro-Link rear suspension system that contributes to a smooth, comfortable ride.

High-speed control is supported by a confidence inspiring Combined-ABS system.*

The low, contoured VFR seat provides an easy reach to the ground and long-term touring comfort for rider and passenger. An easy-to-install rear solo seat cowl and pillion hand grips are standard equipment. A range of optional accessories is also available, developed by Honda Access. These include a tailor-made pannier set and top box and greatly expand the VFR’s touring potential.

* Supporting Honda’s ongoing commitment to the Road Safety Charter, ABS continues to be offered across our entire Touring and Sports Touring range.
