You are on the right track

I have a blue VFR1200. I waited decades since my old 1984 VF1000F. I really love it - even today when it doesn't have all the electronics of newer bikes. It's the quickest bike I've owned (bought it new 10 years ago).

People who criticize this bike for its weight and wheelbase seem to forget that this is not a racer. It's a touring missile with factory luggage engineered to handle speeds up to the factory limiter that can also do the "sport bike" thing on a twisty road. It will never be as nimble as a proper sport bike, but a proper sport bike will never feel as comfortable or stable blasting down the highway. 120mph on this bike going down the road is borderline boring because of how well it does it.

Can confirm that's my cruising speed on i95. Feels like I'm sitting on a couch

Absolutely beautiful! Loved the POV shots - was leaning with you through the turns ;) Also felt you were not aggressive enough, but yeah 1-2-1 gear is a bit choppy on our bike - Also: LOVED the soundtrack vibe for the video - wish we saw more on the VFR 1200f these days - super under appreciated bike - Last: like the shot of the wheels

If you compare speed at 1:13 with 3:47 there is a difference of 25-30 km/h, both situations with traffic ahead. Also at 3:16 the guy in front of me was very slow and i was "commenting" with my left hand... :))) at the end of that straight i should have topped at 180-190km/h, and i was doing 155 max. Anyway, there were other newbies on the track (me included) but others were scaringly slow (see 4:37) so a little bit of carefullness didn't mind. I was not pushing to max, because i had no other means of transportation back home (~200km away) so i had to keep the bike in good shape. The purpose of the day was to taste the track for the first time and enjoy it within normal limits, not to trash the bike. I just avoided 1-2-1 gear changes, yes it looks slow in 2nd gear at 50km/h and there was definitely more bite to throw at the brakes but i was not there to beat the track record. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your bike! Cheers!

LOVE my 2010 VFR1200F!!!! A Don Guhl ECU flash in the VERY near future!!! Nice riding, Brother…be safe!!!!

I agree with long and heavy, but the torque is great. The breaks are good too. I have a blue 2012. Be carefull when shifting down to 1, if you have to much speed and high rews going in to the corner the 1 gear might lock up the backwheel temporarily due to the strong motor. It has happen to me and can make your heartbeat go up a little bit *LOL*

True, even if the bike has the stock slipper clutch, changing to 1st gear is not desirable especially when leaned over due to weaving. Locking the rear wheel never happened to me on this bike. The brakes are wonderful, better than those on a sportbike.

Talk about torque … when he easily catches up after the curves - I could feel it as if I’m on my own 2013 - Such a strong pull!- +1 on first gear you really have to get a feel for the rev zone ‘allowed’

Never done a track day - but when/if I do won't be taking MY VFR1200.... love it too much.

I always wanted to see how it behaves on the track... but i will not repeat it for the fear of damaging it, it's my precious... among other bikes. :)

Go V, Go! Nice throttle! Loved it!

Amazing!

I want to take mine to a track. Loved the vid.

Thanks for sharing! Always wanted a VFR 1200. Good to know the DCT version is fun in the twisties.

got some whupass on the straight

Most of the weight is at low center. Yes it's a bit of a task in the corners but it never feels like a 600 lb bike to me. Love the mid range.

The torque is delicious from down low.. 4000rpm, a small twist and it just takes off ! Linear, efortless but so intoxicating!

I prefer the engine sound to the music but good video otherwise.

There is the engine sound where it mattered the most which is during one of the timed laps, the rest of the video is static pictures and footage with ambient music from the audio speakers at the track, you would not want that poor quality over... Thanks for seeing and appreciating it!

Ни плохо

Nice video until the stupid music started.
