In 2006, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VFR800F, a sport-touring motorcycle in its sixth generation that had its debut in 2002 as a successor to the Honda VFR800Fi Interceptor. Also, the bike was known for its comfortable ergonomics and excellent handling.
The 2006 model came with some minor revisions that included the change of the tachometer face from black to white, a remapped Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that offered a smoother transmission into VTEC, clear turn signal lenses, and changes to the electrical wiring that fixed issues with the charging system.
In addition, the bike came equipped with standard features, such as six-spoke cast aluminum wheels, a single-sided swingarm, an adjustable windscreen for improved wind protection, a comfortable seat with an upright riding position, and dual headlights.
For suspension, the bike packed a 41 mm HMAS preload-adjustable telescopic fork on the front and an HMAS preload-adjustable gas-charged shock absorber on the rear for optimum suspension performance and handling.
In the braking department, the bike packed two 296 mm discs with three-piston calipers on the front wheel and one 256 mm disc with a three-piston caliper on the rear wheel for optimum stopping power.
As for performance, the 2006 Honda VFR800F had its heartbeat set by a 782cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 110 hp at 10,500 rpm and 82 Nm (61 lb-ft) of torque at 8,500 rpm.
