Working as a mechanic, I can attest that the Unicorn is probably one of the easiest bikes to work on. It's built to last: simple design, quality parts.

Reliable? Yes. Exciting? Not so much. If I wanted more thrill, I switched to a Pulsar, but I miss the dependability of the Unicorn.

It’s all up to how you treat it. Take care of your unicorn, and your unicorn will take care of you. My car's gone to 120,000 km, and I still hear it purr.
Does the VFR1200F cut the mustard?

Absolutely! The V4 of the VFR1200F is a masterpiece. It’s smooth, powerful, and has that wonderful V4 growl. The VFR legacy has a worthy successor.

The engine is great, but it is missing some of the character of the older VFRs. While it wasn't as powerful, for some reason I felt the VTEC 800 felt more exciting.

The engine is fantastic, but I really miss the gear driven cam sound of the older VFRs. But power and refinement more than make up for it.

Honda played it too safe, but it’s a great engine. I just wish they had given it a little more of that raw V4 character that we all love.
Is the VFR1200F being overlooked in the sport-touring segment?

Absolutely underappreciated! But it's a great bike that was overwhelmed by more traditional sport tourers. No one knows what they are missing.

It’s a case of the bike not quite fitting into any category perfectly, I think. It’s not a pure sportbike, not a traditional tourer. That confused people.

Honda's marketing didn't do the VFR1200F any favors, but it's a gem. It should have been sold with its unique qualities pushed more.

I would say it's appropriately rated. The bike is a good one but there are flaws. Some people turned off the small tank and heat issues.

I think I’m in a secret club as an owner. I have everyone who rides my VFR1200F impressed, but it’s quite a rare bike and not many people seem to have heard of it.
What does the VFR1200F's DCT version do to the sport touring experience?

I was skeptical but the DCT is phenomenal touring. No more clutch hand fatigue on long rides and it's surprisingly smooth.
