The 2016 VFR1200X sits at the top of Honda's adventure bike line-up. Based on the big V4 engined VFR1200, the X runs the same 1,237cc available with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Positioned between a road bike and a full-on adventure style off-roader, the VFR1200X features a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel. Spoke wheels are standard. There is no word from Honda on whether this motorcycle is headed for our shores. The VFR1200 used to be available in India but is no longer listed on Honda's website. The more exciting news is that the new CRF1000L Africa Twin will be launching in India soon and as a CKD which should mean it comes at a decent price. Click here to read more about the Africa Twin.
