If that bike is going to be the new VFR, the the exhausts need to be under seat.

No they don't. Underseat exhausts are both old fashioned and the antithesis of Honda's mass-centralisation ethos.

Picture is just what someone thinks it might look like
We’ve got an update on Honda’s hotly-anticipated new V4-powered bike. It has been confirmed by Honda’s Senior Managing Director, Shigeru Takagi, that the new VFR will be seen in its finished form sometime this Fall, and will be in dealer showrooms next Spring.
The VFR1200, as you might have guessed from its name, will be a 1200cc version of the VFR model line. With the added displacement, the new V4 will take on the likes of the Hayabusa and ZX-14R, while Honda phases out the 800cc VFR and CBR1100xx.
In a rare interview last week, Takagi said the bike will be a “new breed of Honda”, which is a phrase we’ve heard Honda saying a lot of recently. There certainly seems to be a cultural shift occurring in the Honda ranks.
“We really believe we can develop a new era starting with this V4-powered machine. It is just the beginning and represents a new breed of Honda which will define Honda’s own taste and styling. This bike will be the perfect road machine that Honda customers have called for. It will be an epoch-making machine and more bikes from the V4 platform are possible. We know people think this bike is going to be a replacement for the VFR800 and the Blackbird but we do not see this bike as a replacement for anything. We see it as an all-new breed of machine, something very special.”
With the final form of the VFR still a hot topic, Togei did say that, ”the bike is different to the concept shown for the first time at Milan in 2009 but the link between them is very clear to see.” We look forward to seeing the spyshots as they come available.
Screw that, I want them to build this:

Yeah, like the DN-01

Sod that, and the random-person-who-decided-to-photoshop-all-kinds-of-Honda-bikes-into-one picture of Cajun's as well. I've already settled the argument for the new VFR1000R. Honda just needs to produce it now.
Here for the arcade.
Hopefully with the Aprilia on the market, it might make Honda more inclined to actually get on with this project that every customer of theirs wants.

Update: New Honda VFR Confirmed for Spring 2010 Delivery, Fall 2009 Unveiling

Yeah, right.
I'll believe it when I see it.
1200cc? That will make it appeal to a smaller market.
Having a 600(?)cc VFR as an "intermediate" sized bike would be a possibility, but Honda do weird things...

it looks so....obece
See, one of those in the 180-190kg range would be a really attractive bike to me. Certainly more attractive than the $18k Hornet 600.

can't remember where i found it, but i am sure i read something over last couple of days saying the vfr1200 v4 will be the first of a few v4 that honda is going to bring out.
If this happens is another story,
parting of the sensory
Can't see it.
The V4 is too expensive to produce, so a V4 600 wouldn't be priced competitively.
Mind you, neither are the DN-01 and the Goldwing...
I never said this, right? OK? But I hope in some ways that Honda don't bring out a new V4, unless it's really crap, like it has the DN-01's transmission, and the Accord's "go to sleep when cruising" disconnecting cylinders, and other EcoTrashBollix like that there.
The vifferbabe's determined to spend the kids' inheritance on travelling, so unless she eats her poisoned mushrooms, I'm unlikely to ever get another bike.
But! (Howevererer) it's too late now for her to back out of OKing my fork upgrade. The parts are on their way, the SuspensionGod has been contacted, and in a few (too long!) weeks, the front end of the VifFerraRi will be as well suspended as the rear.
All that leaves is to overhaul the seat, and scrape on some new makeup, and it will be the perfect bike again.
Till i wreck it....
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....
