Honda has announced the launch of its latest road-sports machine the VFR1200F, combining sports and touring abilities.

Bike insurance policyholders are set to be impressed by the new model, which Honda describes as being an all-round model that adopts race-track qualities but can be a variety of things to a variety of riders.

Fitted with a range of features including a powerful combined braking system and new UNICAM 1237cc V4 engine, bike insurance policyholders are likely to find that the machine offers the briskness of a "typical inline-4 engine's performance, but is delivered with a pure V4 beat and feel".

Riders will be able to choose between three colours of Candy Prominence Red, Seal Silver Metallic and Pearl Sunbeam White along with a range of accessories.

According to Honda, the model matches form with function thanks to ergonomic styling and efficient weather protection, as well as allowing for optimal air flow and heat management.

The model is set to be launched early next year with prices to be confirmed nearer the date.

Honda recently announced it had developed a Dual Clutch Transmission system for sportier large-displacement bikes.
