2020
2020
The 2020 Honda VFR800F continues the legacy of Honda's VFR line, offering a sport-touring experience. It aims to provide a balance between sporting capability and comfortable long-distance riding, placing it in a category with competitors like the Kawasaki Ninja 1000. While other manufacturers have shifted focus, the VFR800F remains a solid choice for riders seeking a traditional sport-touring machine.
At the heart of the VFR800F lies a 782.0 ccm V4 engine, producing a maximum power output of 104.6 HP (76.4 kW) at 10250 RPM. The engine also generates 75.0 Nm (7.6 kgf-m or 55.3 ft.lbs) of torque at 8500 RPM, providing usable power across the rev range. With a fuel capacity of 21.50 litres (5.68 US gallons), the VFR800F offers a decent range for longer journeys. The rider sits at a height above the ground of 789 mm (31.1 inches) which is the lowest setting if adjustability is provided.
The riding experience on the VFR800F is characterized by its refined engine and comfortable ergonomics. The riding position is more upright than a track-focused sportbike, making it suitable for extended periods in the saddle. The V4 engine provides smooth power delivery, reducing fatigue on long rides. While it isn't a hard-edged sportbike, the VFR800F still offers engaging handling and predictable cornering performance.
The Honda VFR800F is best suited for experienced riders looking for a well-rounded motorcycle that can handle both weekend rides and longer tours. It appeals to those who appreciate the smooth power of a V4 engine and the practicality of a sport-touring machine. Although it may not have the latest features of some newer bikes, the VFR800F provides a reliable and enjoyable riding experience.
