HONDAVFR1200FA DCT 2009 - 2010

　　In 2010, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VFR1200FA DTC, a sport-touring motorcycle part of the VRF series in Honda’s range, manufactured in 2010 with new technologies, such as the DTC system first introduced on a motorcycle.

　　Compared to the 2010 standard model, the VFR1200FA DTC packed an additional Dual Clutch Transmission system that offered two automatic modes and a semi-automatic one for maximum riding pleasure.

　　The fully automatic transmission offered a casual D Mode best suited for daily use on the city streets, while the S Mode delivered maximum power, which was best suited on track or highway. Also, the gear shifting was done by paddle shifters located on the handlebar.

　　The bike was built on a double beam cast aluminum frame that housed a 41 mm HMAS adjustable cartridge-type telescopic fork on the front and an HMAS Pro-Link adjustable gas-charged shock absorber on the rear for optimum suspension performance and handling.

　　As for braking performance, the bike packed two 320 mm floating discs with six-piston calipers on the front wheel and a single 276 mm disc with a tow-piston caliper on the rear wheel for strong stopping power.

　　The 2010 Honda VFR1200FA DCT had its soul brought to life by a 1237cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 170 hp at 10,000 rpm and 129 Nm (95 lb-ft) of torque at 8,750 rpm.
