    I see no problem with the 5th gen engine. I must admit, a V6 is intriguing. But you know it would add several thousand to do this so keep it a V4 like the letter on the fairing say...

    KC-10 FE out...

    A 1000 - 1200 cc V6 would definetly peak my interest, but I'm sure weight & handling would be altered. It would also probably come out being more of full sport tour & most likely would be completing against the ST's market share. Probably not a wise move on the sales end of the business for Honda; it's never a good idea to compete against your own product line. I honestly would not be suprised if trends continue as they have(more tour & less sport on the newer model VFR's) if these two bikes wouldn't be merged together in some way shape or form down the road.

    Nothing wrong with the V4, just make it so it produces more HP and grunt.1000cc please. As good as the motogp engine is it's not a smart street engine. thou I wouldn't mind giving it a try..

    V6 would actual have to be called a VSR

    V6 would actual have to be called a VSR

    V5 could be called a VFR

    Im supprised there isnt more interest in the MotoGP V4

    Vtec has sofar got higher votes than I thought. It is a great engine, im happy with mine.

    Heck, theres actually some votes for the cylinder disengagement bike.
