Honda claims the VFR1200F dual clutch technology is the world's first applied in a motorcycle. With this technology allows the use of the clutch and shift automatically.
In addition, Honda warrant the use of technology as much fun with the double clutch automatic transmission. Even so, the technology is more fun because the driver can set the sport as well as comfortable driving model which is fully controlled electronically.

Honda believes dual clutch technology is a breakthrough in the future that appeared today. The reason, VFR1200F allows bikers to experience a new style of free riding motorcycles.
Dual clutch transmission developed by Honda made with solid construction and light weight. This makes the Honda does not need to make modifications to the motorcycle unit that will implement this feature.
Dual clutch transmission that appears in the model VFR1200F said almost the same as those developed for the car. Nevertheless, because of its dimensions that are longer than conventional transmission, the application of a double clutch on a motorcycle requires a rather complicated laying techniques.
Honda explains the complexity of the application of dual transmission on a motorcycle found on the consideration of ground clearance, center of gravity and balance factor when cornering motorcycles.
Honda is able to resolve the issue on the VFR1200F. This occurred after the Honda managed to do development on the design of the use of two main shaft and the clutch hydraulic direction.
In addition, Honda has made 100 patents on this technology also makes it easier menu options for the biker. For D-Mode users can feel the fuel-efficient. While the S-Mode promising sporty driving. The 6-speed-mode allows control fully electronic through the shift-control with a taste like a manual transmission.
