New V5 VFR1000F announced

[imdying]

That is a combination of CB1000R, the new CBR1000R, the new CB600RR, and the old (current) VFR800. There is even a vertical connector pipe for the underseat exhaust complete with heat shield from the current VFR800.

Typical MCN rubbish.

That would be the rear bank of cylinders?

However, that said, I'm with you... looks like a chop... GSXR indicators, and why when the bars are at seemingly the same height are they using different throttle blocks on the right hand bar?

[lostinflyz]

shaft drive????

Till honda says it i beleive nothing. but it is pretty. minus the exhaust. and that upright exhaust section is a long way from the rear of the engine. and whats all this nonsense about push button gear changes???

[avgas]

yep it looks to be another rubbish bike, great for trading your goldwing in for.
Shame really as the VFR800 is not a bad bike - quite sporty even

Needs to be posted under the thread 'Yet another VFR1000 rumour....'

[Deano]

nice...
so the engine will break after a few wheelies

Nah, it's not a Gixxer

[Kiwi Graham:Me]

If its true I'd be very interested. Have had a V4 and thought it was awsome so a V5!!!!!!! MCN think its April 1st all year I dont think they know whats real themselves anymore!!
I agree certain elaments of the picture look unreal. The rear footrest, the dimensions of the front header pipe to the rear bank of cylinders (bloody wide'V' eh!) and the fact it looks like a parts bin exercise. I guess we shall just have to wait and see.

Ok.. I just gt off the phone to *** **** (Japanese lady) who is the product manager for ******** honda... I managed to get out of her that there is a new model being "announced" in september 09 but she and all honda dealers have been told to keep all details secret and deny any knowledge of the above by Honda Japan.

Looks like a lardy sports tourer to me. I don't want a lardy sports tourer. The first viffer's were proper sportsbikes. V4, V5 or V6...any will do. I want a V version of the CBR600 with pneumatic valves, a 25000rpm rev limit, a slipper clutch, traction control, >125 ponies and a wet weight < 150Kg. Is that too much to ask....sheesh.

When you are placing your order, I'll be calling "shotgun seconds!" to that.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Photoshop or not...should it look like that...it'd be the first Honda in ages that's given me a chubby!

[Sully60]

What I want to know is who the fuck does MCN think they're going to fool with this shit?

You sound like Hitler after his VFR was written off and replaced with a GS.
