Maybe. The article's grammar is pretty bad and don't know if there's any cred to it but, a V5 on the street would be interesting...

Like the RC211V that Nicky Hayden won the Motogp championship with in 2006. Three cylinders in the front bank and two on the back bank. But I don't see a V5 coming out on the street, remember that Honda did away with the V-twin RC51, and the VFR is more of a sport tour now than the race bike that it used to be.

Yea,I've often thought that way about what a Japanese motorcycle company will do...and then I see a RUNE, B-KING,the new V-MAX,FJR1300 w/auto-trans, Versys, etc and I realize that these fuckers are capable of anything!

Bout freaking time. When Randy Mamola or Kevin Schwantz tested the V5 RC211V Rossi won so many championships on he said it would make an awesome road bike, power was completely linear and silky smooth.
That was the 990 of course, the 800 version is a lot less user friendly apparently, just ask Nicky Hayden.

If they make HRC engine upgrades available I'm selling the gsxr.

220 hp sport tourer anyone?
