Honda VFR V4 VTEC
Honda VFR V4 VTEC
Not as popular its sister the CBR, the Honda VFR is an excellent bike. It is equipped with a V-4 engine that performs really well and all the widely known features that make of Honda motorcycles some of the best bikes in the market. Due to its more upright riding position - when you compare it to other sportbikes - it can also be used as a sport touring bike.
