Honda VFR1200F wins Best Sports Tourer of 2010

Those who are searching for motorcycle insurance might be interested to note that the Honda VFR1200F has picked up the Best Sports Tourer 2010 accolade.

The vehicle was awarded by Motor Cycle News (MCN) and it was also in the top ten best-selling motorcycles overall last year.

Editor of the magazine Marc Potter said the bike has brought a new styling concept to many people, adding: "The Dual Clutch Transmission push-button gear-change transforms the way we ride, making you think that changing gear with your foot should be firmly left in the past."

Steve Martindale, general manager of Honda UK Motorcycles, stated the model pushed new boundaries in design and technology, stating it is always rewarding to be recognised for a prize.

This comes after the brand revealed Strictly Come Dancing star James Jordan, who partnered Pamela Stephenson in the last series, had chosen to purchase a Honda CBR600RR.
