The VFR 1200 is a good bike. I think people tend to compare it to other adventure bikes like the Africa Twin or the Super Tenere.
Actually it is a kind of midweight tourer, quite comparable to a Dyna, an FJR, or something like that. It has shaft drive, DCT, and plenty of power. 600 pounds sounds heavy compared to an Africa Twin or a Ninja 1000, but it is substantially less than a Dyna, ST1300, or a Connie 14.
I don't think Honda knows what to do with it and might see it as competition for their ST 1300.
I am not sure if they are still making them, though new ones are still for sale.
With cruise control and an update I think they could sell some.
