Honda boss says new V4 will be ‘a new breed of bike' - VFR1200ST or Super DN-01 ?

Im off to the hood to go to work. If MCN does post the teaser pics somebody will post them. and if I use my phone to see them and end up shartering it.. Im sueing Honda for mental stress and a new phone.

 

Remember this is the same magazine that claimed 2009 was the year of the new VFR. Take this with a huge titanic sized grain of salt. See below:

 

Anyone notice the drafting program cursor in the upper right part of the cowl? Hmmm , I smell cow ppop !!

 

Oops, I meant "poop" , damn dyslexia...........

 

I don't like the DN-01 at all.
I wouldn't criticise anyone for riding one, but I would much prefer Honda spend their resources on a new VFR.
I am quite sure though, that when the new VFR finally does come out I won't even like it.
Which is OK too, because I won't have to fork over $15k or whatever it will be.
All I want is a comfy sport bike. Which is exactly what I have.
I don't want- auto, ABS, GPS, air bags, mp3 player, traction control etc.

2009 Honda V5: MCN claims poop.

 

Variable cylinder engine.. is that shaft drive??
Man I love my gen 5.

 

Yes, tcarroll is right. Looks very much like shaft drive. The swingarm shaft drive in one, the whole thing looks ditto like a BMW K1200R. Very interesting. The new V5 has a shaft drive, or is this a scoop of poop?

 

I saw this article this week also. I put up a post with the Website for more 2010 VFR info : Honda V4 - Alive and Kicking

Check out the pictures at leftlanenews.com . Whoops never mind.

 

Here's a picture not posted. That sure looks like the tail end of the 6th Gen VFR. I know they can duct tape anything they want on the back of a bike but why choose THAT light cluster? I hate to say it but I'm starting to think they may have FINALLY come up with a 7th Gen...

I was never gonna go out and get on a CBR100o or R1 anyway. I have actually looked at the FJR1300 and though "maybe in a couple years". Seeing what maybe Gen7 in the black, I not digusted as much as I was expecting to be. I'm reserving final judgement till I see one in the states, but I'm feeling it grow on me. No way in hell the wife is gonna lug around all that bike, but for me.... maybe. have to take a wait and se stance.

 

if these shots are real, I will be doubling down on my GEN3... foogin weak!

if I wanted a BMW K1200R I would just buy one!

 

Said it before, say it now: I'll believe there's a new VFR when I'm sitting on one and not before.

 

That link is from 2008.

The Gen 7 looks one step closer to the real deal.

Also interesting is the hint of a new Pan European (ST1300) means the VFR1200ST hopefully remains Sports/Hyper tourer biased. :thumbsup:

 

If it looks anything simular to that minus the tail, Im getting one.

As long as it has atleast 150 hp. then Ill sel my 6th gen and forget supercharging it.

 

yeah, was just commenting on MCN's annual or bi-annual new VFR hype. Seems they actually got it close this time.

Still not buying this is a replacement for the VFR, it ain't the 7th gen, it's an answer to the K1200R/S and the ZX14/Concours. Totally new class for Honda. VFR get's new colors for '10.
