HONDAVFR1200FA DCT 2011 - 2012

　　In 2012, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VFR1200FA DCT, a motorcycle that received a few revisions, which included the engine that offered more performance with more torque between 2,000-4,000 rpm and the addition of the Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) system.

　　The Honda VFR1200F was a sport-touring motorcycle part of the VFR line of motorcycles in Honda's range, powered by a transverse-mounted V4 engine. The bike featured new technologies, which included the first Dual Clutch Transmission offered on a motorcycle.

　　Also, the bike featured the same upgrades as the 2012 1200FA model, such as changes to the PGM-FI system, an increased capacity of the fuel tank that offered over 300 km (186 miles) on a single tank of gas, a more comfortable seat, and a traction control system that worked head-to-head with the C-ABS, which enhanced the bike's capabilities.

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

　　In the braking department, the 1200FA DCT packed two 320 mm floating discs with six-piston calipers on the front wheel and one 276 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear wheel for optimum stopping power.

　　As for the power figures, the 2012 Honda VFR1200FA DCT took its muscles from a 1237cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 170 hp with maximum strength at 10,000 rpm and 129 Nm (95 lb-ft) of torque at 8,750 rpm.
