Is the VFR 1200 a good bike?
Excellent bike, a little heavy, good finishing, fast. Neutral position for 178 cm/90 kg, long rides are suitable for it. Good ride stability, not very nimble on twisty roads, some effort is needed. Exceptional combined brakes, far much better than many other sport-bikes.

What’s the flat spot on a Honda VFR?
The VFR has a small flat spot between 5,000 and 6,000 rpm—right in the heart of cruising range—but above that it spins out power like gold. A handful of throttle quickly blurs the surroundings, a thrilling rush best experienced on wide-open roads.
