Do Honda VFR have VTEC?

The new VFR is probably the most advanced sports/tourer we have seen yet, with many new features including the infamous variable valve technology (VTEC). Simply put, the VTEC engine runs on two valves per cylinder below 7,000 rpm then cuts into four valves per cylinder above 7,000.

When did VFR get VTEC?

2002
Sixth Generation: 2002–2013 VFR800 VTEC (RC46) The sixth generation VFR was introduced in 2002. It featured dual underseat exhausts, optional ABS, DCBS linked brakes, and optional hard luggage. It featured chain-driven cams rather than the gear-driven cams of earlier VFRs, and VTEC valve actuation.

What is Honda VFR VTEC?

The Honda VF800 VTEC has long been described as a sports bike for tourers and a tourer for sports bike riders and this certainly does seem to capture all that the VFR800 VTEC has to offer. Whether you want to invest in a bike for commuting or take it out on longer distances, the VF800 VTEC handles itself well.

How does VFR VTEC work?

The VTEC valve actuation system works by only allowing two valves out of four valves in each cylinder to be opened by the camshafts. A controller opens up the other two valves at higher RPM. What the controller actually does is engage send power to a solenoid which actuates an oil spool valve (a sliding pin).

Do Honda bikes have VTEC?

Honda has developed a new version of the VTEC variable valve timing and lift specifically for two-wheelers. While Honda has offered Hyper-VTEC on its bikes since the 1990s, the motorcycle system is actually a rebranded version of the earlier REV arrangement, used on the CB400 since 1983.

Is VTEC better than Turbo?

Turbo produces more torque and horsepower obviously while VTEC is more about pushing the maximum horsepower out of the engine since torque on VTEC cars can only be felt on VTEC range meaning anywhere after 5,500RPMs but yet the torque is still nothing compared with a turbo’s torque output.

Which bike has VTEC?

Honda VFR800 VTEC The Japanese giants started work on their VTEC (Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control System) system in the 1980s and the first bike to feature the tech was the Japanese market CBR400F of 1983, but VTEC became mainstream in 2002 with the introduction of the VFR800 VTEC.
