Purpose	It's built for fast, comfortable long-distance sport-touring, blending V4 performance with shaft-drive practicality.

Character	The VFR1200F has a smooth, torquey V4 character with strong high-RPM power delivery and a refined, understated sporting demeanor.
Not Ideal For	It's not the right choice for new riders, off-road enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a light, flickable city commuter.

Inseam (optional)

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Honda VFR1200F, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
