Custom Paint – 2010 Honda VFR1200 DCT

In Japan, Touring by AbhiLeave a Comment

Honda didn’t sell nearly as many VFR1200s as they were hoping for, but here’s one that stands out thanks to a paint job inspired by the legendary VF1000R of the 80s.

As Cycle World summed it up in their long term review: “We concluded that the VFR suffers from an identity crisis. It’s too big (60.8-inch wheelbase) and heavy (613 pounds dry) to attract hardcore sport riders, and it only becomes a viable sport-tourer after the addition of the nice-looking but smallish—and expensive—accessory bags.” Similar comments appeared in the VFR’s logbook: “This is a deeply conflicted bike,” noted contributing editor Marc Cook. “In the VFR, Honda seems to be saying it can hit multiple spots and be more bike to more riders. Instead, the result is a bike that’s not as good at any one thing and downright unsuitable for several.”

This example (VIN: JH2SC6355AK000230) has 22,950 miles and a few extras – Coffman short exhaust, Corbin seat with locking trunk, T-Rex engine covers, and some minor cosmetic accessories. The big thing is the paint – how do you think it turned out?

Find this VFR for sale in Tuttle, Oklahoma with a BIN of $9,750 or best offer here on eBay.
