From nose to tail, from ergos to engine size to exhaust placement to bodywork design, there�s other machine like it. Which, of course, is exactly what you�d expect from a Honda.

Honda VFR 1200F Motorcycle Sport Radical doesn�t begin to describe the all-new 2010 VFR1200F. After they took it for their inaugural spin Cycle World called it �revolutionary.� And while that certainly describes this incredible new machine, it doesn�t begin to do it justice.

An all-new, super-compact Unicam� design 1237cc V4 engine, fueled by Honda�s first-ever Throttle By Wire system. Combined Braking with standard ABS. But perhaps most striking of all is the game-changing Honda Dual-Clutch automatic Transmission: Six speeds, two clutches, and your choice of changing gears with a pair of F1-style paddle shifters or letting the bike shift itself. It�s a feature that has completely blown away even the most cynical magazine test rider. And if you prefer, there�s also a second version of the VFR1200F equipped with a conventional six-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch.

Honda VFR 1200F Motorcycle Sport As if the incredible new VFR1200F weren�t trick enough in its standard, manual six-speed form, this standard-setting machine also comes equipped with one of the most advanced and Formula 1-esque features to ever grace a Honda motorcycle: DCT, a.k.a. Dual Clutch Transmission. Opt for push-button six-speed �paddle-style� shifting, or go totally automatic (yep, twist the throttle and the transmission will shift itself up and down through its gears). Better still, you can choose from two modes in Automatic: �D� for regular cruising, or �S� for a sportier pace.
