The Honda Vfr1200x has a top speed of 220 km/h (estimated, Honda did not publish official top speed), produces 129 hp and weighs 267 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.

הונדה VFR1200X קרוסטור הוצגה בשנת 2012 ככניסתה של הונדה לפלח טיולי ההרפתקאות, שנבנתה על פלטפורמת VFR1200F עם מנוע ה- V4 הייחודי שלה. הוא כלל אפשרות תיבת הילוכים כפולה (DCT), מה שהופך אותו לאחד מתיירי ההרפתקאות הראשונים שהציעו טכנולוגיה זו. הוא הופסק בסביבות 2017, והוא היה בולט באופיו הספורטיבי V4 בשילוב עם יכולת סיור למרחקים ארוכים, אם כי הוא עמד בפני ביקורת על משקלו בהשוואה ליריבים.

מה הקונים צריכים לדעת

⚙️

DCT Gearbox Watch

The optional Dual Clutch Transmission is a standout feature but can be expensive to repair if neglected. Always verify DCT service history and check for jerky low-speed shifting, which can indicate wear.

💰

Slow Depreciation Curve

The VFR1200X holds its value reasonably well due to limited production numbers and a loyal adventure-touring fanbase. Used examples with low miles and full service history command strong resale prices.

🔧

Shaft Drive Advantage

The shaft drive eliminates chain maintenance costs and is highly reliable long-term, making it ideal for high-mileage touring. However, inspect the rear drive unit for oil leaks, a known weak point on higher-mileage bikes.

Sport-touring riders wanting V4 character and reliability

"The most underrated adventure tourer Honda ever built, period."

$7,500-$12,000 used

The VFR1200X is Honda's answer to a question nobody really asked — what if we took a sport-tourer engine and bolted it into an adventure bike? The result is genuinely brilliant in ways that'll surprise you. That 1237cc V4 pulls hard from anywhere in the rev range, sounds absolutely savage at full chat, and makes BMW's parallel twins feel agricultural by comparison. DCT models especially are effortless in traffic without feeling disconnected from the riding experience. Buy used and check the rear suspension first — it's the bike's Achilles heel. Stock setup is too soft for anything beyond solo riding and aftermarket units aren't cheap. Also verify the shaft drive has been serviced; neglected examples develop lash that gets annoying fast. Fuel economy hovers around 40mpg, which is acceptable given the performance on offer. Pre-purchase, scrutinize the fairing carefully — panels are expensive and Honda discontinued some parts around 2019. Find a clean 2016-2019 example with service history and you've got an effortlessly capable machine that most riders will never outgrow.
