Honda VFR 1200 Fairings
About the Honda VFR1200
The Honda VFR1200F is a 1237cc V4 sport-tourer produced from 2010 to 2013 (with the VFR1200X Crosstourer following). It was Honda’s flagship all-rounder, notable as one of the first production bikes with a dual-clutch transmission (DCT), which gave smooth, automatic shifts without losing the V4 character. Its 76-degree V4 offered strong low-end torque and a relaxed touring demeanour, while the layered bodywork gave it a distinctive, futuristic look that divided opinion but aged well. The VFR1200 is valued by riders who cover long distances, and its fairings are often replaced after a drop or to refresh a scuffed touring bike.
What the VFR1200F does best is distance. The riding position is roomy, the screen is effective, and the engine pulls from low rpm without fuss, which is why owners use them for two-up touring and commuting alike. The layered fairing is more than styling: it directs air away from the rider on long trips. When the original panels are damaged, a fresh set returns the bike to its clean, modern look, and because these are premium machines, tidy bodywork matters for resale.
VFR1200 Generations & Year Ranges
The VFR1200F was built from 2010 to 2013 with one core body design; the later VFR1200X Crosstourer uses different adventure-style bodywork and is not covered here. Confirm your bike is the faired VFR1200F rather than the adventure X, then browse the matching category for kits cut to that body. There is no year split within the F model, so ordering is straightforward once the variant is confirmed.
The key check is F versus X, because the Crosstourer’s beak and taller screen will not fit the faired F. A look at the front and the VIN confirms it, and comparing your panels with the product photos removes any doubt. Getting the variant right means the upper fairing and side panels meet the headlight and tank as they should.
Popular VFR1200 Styles & Liveries
The VFR1200F is most common in Honda Candy Red and in silver or black with red accents, the understated superbike-adjacent look that suits a tourer. The layered fairing design works best in a single clean colour, so most owners keep the red or choose a stealth black that matches the bike’s touring role rather than a loud graphic.
Because the VFR1200F is a long-distance machine, resale favours a tidy factory livery over a custom scheme, and the layered body shows scuffs more than a flat panel does. Red and black remain the safe, period-correct choices, and they are what the used market expects from a premium Honda sport-tourer.
What’s Included in the Kit
A VFR1200F fairing kit includes the upper fairing, the left and right side panels, the lower belly pan, the tail section, and the front fender, plus the inner panels that house the large V4. Some sets add a windscreen and tank cover, and the panels are colour-matched across the set. The wide engine means the side panels are substantial, so the kit is moulded to follow the cylinder banks and the radiator layout.
Fitment: Make Sure You Pick the Right Year
VFR1200F fairings are moulded for the 2010-2013 body and do not fit the VFR1200X Crosstourer. Confirm your model from the VIN and the fully faired front, then choose the matching category. The kits use pre-drilled OEM points, and a dry fit before final tightening confirms alignment, particularly around the headlight and the wide side panels.
