Honda is a Japanese manufacturer of automobiles, motorcycles, and small engines. The first Honda motorcycles in the U.S. were small-displacement motorcycles and scooters. Honda built a reputation for reliability and fuel efficiency through these bikes. During the 1980’s, performance-oriented street motorcycles started to become popular.

The VFR800 was introduced with a fuel injected engine, replacing the previous VFR750’s carburetors. Successive generations of the VFR800 continued to add safety and technology, while keeping the design up-to-date.
Modern U.S. versions of the VFR800 feature creature comforts like heated grips and modern safety features such as antilock brakes and traction control. Dual actuation braking was introduced in 2002.
