It always feels special to be on a bike that the world has waited for years, a bike that when launched in its first avatar, rewrote quite a few rules. I was among the millions who had patiently waited for the all new VFR1200F to be launched and finally when it did, I found myself among a select few journalists, who were invited to the land of the rising sun for an exclusive ride experience.
"Even before I thumbed the electric starter, I knew this wouldn’t turn out to be a very long test ride that too on a road that this bike will seldom be seen on. Nevertheless, with a chance to experience one of the most awaited motorcycles in the history of Honda, I wasn’t really complaining. A few minutes later, with my left hand free, the big sweet sounding V4 motor was changing through the gears effortlessly on its own, downshifting quickly without abruptions as I slowed down for the tight curves on Honda’s HSR (Honda Safety Riding) track in Kumamoto. What you see on these pages is the all-new VFR1200F that, hold you breath, is slated for an Indian launch during the third quarter of the 2010 calendar year."
