If I could only own 1 bike and 1 bike alone, then I can honestly say that I wouldn't have any other model of bike in existence today other than my Super Dooper Blackbird.

Here are 10 reasons why I wouldn't own any other (single) bike:

Ahh, but being a Honda, it will be well down on the HP it could actually produce (or would produce if it was a Yam, Kwaka or Suzi). Honda has a habit of making bikes that fall well short of their potential (engine wise) in street form. But then they also have an uncanny knack of making them so you bolt on a few HRC bits and they turn into world beaters. Ducking for cover now...

All yer bikes are better than mine, I don't even like it myself

**Waylander** · 30th January 2005, 15:13

Seriously what are the reviews on the V5? I would like to know how it rides and if it is really worth it to buy.

Here are 10 reasons why I wouldn't own any other (single) bike:

1. It looks gorgeous; often turning heads and gathering a crowd.
2. It's silky smooth.
3. It has awesome acceleration and very, very fast. Yet very user friendly.
4. It is very comfortable, especially over long distances.
5. It's very comfy for pillions.
6. It's a Honda, and I think Honda's are the best built bikes (subjective I know).
7. It has a 24 litre tank, so it has an excellent range between motion lotion stops.
8. It's relatively economical to run.
9. It's a dream through long sweeping corners and has great all round handling.
10. It's mine

Incidentally - If I could have another one bike in addition to the Bird - It'd be a TNT.

Now please tell me why yours is the best.

Harley riders need not respond to this thread

as you do not qualify for inclusion in this discussion.

Oh ok, you can. Providing that you start your response with the words:

My name is (place name here) and I apologise for buying a Harley. In an attempt to seek forgiveness I would like it to be known that I would like to buy a proper motorcycle, namely a (enter bike make and model here). Because (enter reasons why here).

For my next bike, I'll be eventually getting a Honda 2005 CBR1000RR. But up until then I will have to agree that my 400cc is not the same calibur as the blackbird.

So you're getting a 3 year old bike? Didnt you post somewhere that it would be 2-3 years before you would be getting another bike?

**Badcat** · 30th January 2005, 21:31

VanVan.

Take it all, bitch.

Honda V5 1200 Production Bike Rumored

By Alex Edge

Several European publications have been reporting that Honda is developing a V5-engined 1200cc sports tourer as a replacement for the CBR1100XX Blackbird, to go on sale in 2006. The bike might be called a VFR1200, and it will supposedly feature MotoGP-inspired aerodynamic design.

Rumors say the bike may be the first production model to exceed 200 hp, and if it is marketed as a VFR it would likely receive Honda's next generation of safety features. Honda currently produces bikes with linked brakes and ABS, and there is some speculation that this next-generation "Super VFR" might feature a full traction-control system.
