Hmmm...a vfr that looks like a scooter (dn01). I dpnt think Honda would be that dumb would they???

[Pumba]

Those bars still look a bit low for a VFR, and a standard swing arm:sick:

yet another UK MCN photoshop special..

MCN is nothing but a journo rag... its totally put to shame by the likes of the aussie MCN...

I speak as an englishman brought up on this shite

[mark247]

That looks like shit.

Bring back the RC30 plz.

[Qkchk]

If they had any common sense they would bring back the RC30, updated to todays technology and there, right there, the 1000's would have a run for their money.

Food for thought: But is the RC30 so desirable not only because its abilities but due to the fact its so rare?

Yes possibly, but they are still an AWESOME bike. I'd have one over some brand new gixxer anyday.

If you follow the thread to the bottom it is clear that it's just a BS photoshop job. The picture about halfway down is of a new Suzuki scooter. (Breathes sigh of relief) They had me worried for a sec.
I am desirous of an RC 30 (looks at large framed image of said bike on office wall :banana:) and I'd have one even if they weren't rare. It is simply a gorgeous machine, reputedly with handling (for its time) to match. I just wouldn't keep it in the lounge.:yes:

[Swoop]

1200cc???

I can't see it happening.
(Prove me wrong Honda. Release some fugging info to stop the rumour machine!)

my NC30 (the 400 version) whoops all over my gsxr in the handling dept!

one can only imagine what the 750 must have gone like:thud:

would be dam cool to see a SPORT version of a V4 800/1000(yknow, like their motogp bikes)

it would probably be stupidly fast and cool though, which is not the refined honda thing(refined and boringish), resulting in them never releasing it.

Apparently, the RC30 and RC45 both handled very nicely, but the standard RC45 was not overly impressive power-wise against the likes of GSXRs, ZXRs, etc until you spent a bazillion dollars on the genuine HRC race engine.

And still a little girl waits.......... :wait:

We can only dream..........

Knowing Honda, they will f#$k it up.

Hey guys... Check this out.

A 1000cc V5 with 150hp in a VFR Sport tourer set up.... mmmmmm drooool

[Qkchk]

Makes interesting reading........

"2009 will be a special year and one of commemoration for Honda since the Japanese firm will be celebrating its 60th birthday, and that is why without a shadow of doubt 2009 has been chosen for the appearance of new models and others that will have been revamped, important models like the new VFR."

They have got a good point there.......

[RiderInBlack]

If they put the bars and blade in real tour position like on my 1990 VFR750 and "Roxanne" (CBR1000FL), leave the single sided swing arm there, up the power (mmm V5 1000, hope it sounds as good as the VFR750 did), that would be a bike I could really go for (at the right price of course:msn-wink:).

Whats your thoughts on price? Im thinking 25-30k?

Also found this pick. Now if there was a new V4/5 Sportsbike also released I think Id have to have one of those too! :msn-wink:

[vifferman]

"Double clutch system"?
I wonder if that's a similar system to the gearbox in the DN-01?
No mention of a "super Vtec" system that disables some cylinders when cruising... I'm just dreading that any new VFR might have that. Although mebbe with fuel prices leaping up so rapidly it could be a good thing.

I might have to disable my PowerCommander and reinstate the O2 sensors - I'm only getting around 30-summat miles to the gallooon....

[Mort]

Its difficult to see the V5 being brought out as a sports bike when the current Fireblade is so good and well ahead of every other sports bike. If Honda do bring out a V5 or a new VFR1000 you can bet your boots it will be a sports tourer festooned with every form of new technology - Electronic brakes, Traction control, VTEC, etc etc... It'll be a great bike but I wish they would focus more on what most people want.... A 990cc V5 MotoGP rep :drool:

[Mountlocal1]

I hope the next year goes fast.... And hope these latest rumacts (rumour + facts;)) are true...

Meh...
I've been waiting and watching VFR development since the '90s. A few more months won't matter.

Found a pic in the drawer the other day, when I was looking for some passport photos. It was the one pic of the one time when I had two (2!!) bikes.
Momentarily.
Both V4s - 1985 VF500 and 1990 VFR750. I tried to scan it, but the scanner went mental so I gave up. So I tried to photograph it, but I haven't had my digicam long, and forgot where the "Macro" setting was. Apparently, it's the button with the macro symbol on it... :doh:

Imagine if they actually re-released an older bike. Exactly the same, without pussying it up for namby pamby PC tossers and exhaust emissions, etc. Would it sell?
