    It looks good from the front and the rear...

    this was in my Cycle World emailer this morning. Fascinating.


    I hope they keep the VFR800: one of a list of bikes I would like to own at some point.

    The (alleged) new VFR is, yes. It also has USD forks (about time), a twin-plane crank, will probably have the new E-DCBS brakes with ABS, has indicators in the mirrors, a la the Blackbird, and will probably have the same kind of 'cylinder decoupling' technology as the Accord V6. Let's hope it's not like the mentalised version of Vtec they stuck on the latest VFR. I can just imagine how suckful it would be if you're slowing down for a corner, it drops to two cylinders, you open up coming out of the corner, it hesitates, and you fall on your ear. The hesitation with the 'Closed loop' to mapped fueling was bad enough...
    It would also suck if 16,000km services take 8 hours because of added complexity.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    I had a ride on my old man's 08 vfr and noticed that too - the 03 r6 has it also; farking annoying especially as the rc46 was absolutely mint

    VTEC suddenly kicking in annoyed me also - i want all balls ALL the time. Where's the logic in adding fuel saving complexity to a larger capacity engine?

    You don't buy a big bike for the fuel efficiency.

    nice looking bike. I think it will be too big for what I want though. They are it appears discontinuing the 800: I've always fancied one of those.....

    Looks very fat from the side with those big slabs, some clever graphics could hide some of that.

    It does seem to leave a hole in their mid range with all the better bikes going to bigger and bigger CC's. Wonder if they are working towards replacing it with something? The Daytona 675 seems to be a big hit as a sorta sport tourer?

    I belive there is something about a whole new V4 range so perhaps the best is yet to come - well if tourers are not one's thing. One thing is for sure is that they have spent considerable time on this concept. Still love those gear driven cams though
