new VFR1200?

[pdog]

Yikes, hot weather testing a bike in 110 degree heat (in the shade) can't be fun, no matter the bike (the last pic in the set shows a thermometer).

The headlight is odd..... but other than that its really clean looking. i'd rock it.

havent there been rumors of a 1200vfr for 6-7 years now, lol, itd be about time.

That is hideous though.

Its a good commuter bike.

I still haven't quite gotten why they don't spoon that V5 motor into a VFR-like chassis and sell it. Would be a cool bike and bring the VFR back to it's racing roots.

Probably because Honda is the worst company in the world for following consumer demands in the world. Honda does what Honda wants to do, even though it usually doesnt make sense.

If Honda would build a V5 or an v-twin high end sportbike, I would probably get rid of the Harley next year for it. I'd have to ride a v5 first, but a V-twin... mmm... I had a cbr1000rr, and that thing was so smooth it wasn't fun to ride. Power was unbelievable, but it didn't have that 'I'm gonna throw you 300 feet through this turn if you fuck up' feeling that I loved on the RC51. I fight with my Harley at 90mph more than I ever did with cbr at 150mph

I dunno, just didn't like the feel of the I4. Sure I was a little faster with it, but it wasnt as satisfying to ride.

I can understand that, my V-Max was the "funnest" most "interesting" bike I've ever owned.

That's why I keep saying I'm going to have to see one...

Im with you. Ive been waiting to see a new VFR but this is the first time I remember seeing actual test photos of it.

You think so?

The more I see it the more hideous I think it looks.
