    Doesn't really do it for me. Mind you I said that when the CBR came out (hahaha came out....) Anyway, don't mind the look of it now.... Fuck am I getting subconsciously being converted or something...

    I think it looks nice compared to the previous model and would just about interest us old VFR guys if it had gear driven cams, but no it doesn't, so just got to keep riding my old VFR.
    Cheers

    Very interesting.
    Looks like more of a ducati light-type front end. Much nicer exhaust than the fugly 1200.

    Would like to take one for a spin.

    Like it. Reminds me a lot of the 98 VFR I had.

    I think it looks pretty darn good and I'm more than a little tempted by the new VFR (it's been a long time since I could say that). It sports clean lines: no origami-angry-insect styling treatment. I loved my old '95 VFR- I look back on that as strong contender for my favorite bike. OK, so no gear driven cams but it does have a single sided swingarm and I'll bet that V4 would sound fruity with a good pipe. I'll be keeping a close eye on this one when it comes out.

    Lovely looking bike. Always liked viffers. Is it me, or is there more than a pissing resemblance to Ducati in there... and not just the lights

    I like everything about it apart from the VTEC system. Probably buy one if it ran on 4 valves ( per cylinder ) all the time.

    e side view is a bit plain but I like the front 3/4 view and the hint of CBR1000RR.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    The first generation bikes were chain driven cams. 2nd gen went to gear driven, so perhaps chains are the "proper" ones...
    The cams sound nicer though!

    that's an admission of guilt by honda.

    i kinda like it.
    front light is not totally the best part, but above all i really can't understand why it's so hard to make a bike which remains around 200 kgs.

    why on earth should i buy this one and not a z1000 sx which is same weight and has 30ps more?
