The rumors are everything from V4 1000cc to V5 1200CC, paddle shifting (barf), shaft drive (er, maybe) and two versions to choose from as below:

And the GT version with adjustable windshield, lower pipe (should have kept the high-pipes from the old model IMO), and bags:

I'd like to think I am open to change but giving up the gear driven cams and adding VTEC on the last generation was a big mistake. Hopefully they make things right!

And hopefully they open a dealership in my city of over 1 million people.... :twisted:
Impressive! Are these photoshopped or actual Honda pix?

They're likely photoshops, as the VFR didn't change. Unless that's going to happen next year..

Honda can do so much with that VFR engine, put it in so many bikes. I would like to see it in a street fighter bike.

1200cc and a shafty. The fairing is massive. I'll reserve judgement until I see one in person (hopefully with some paintwork that can diminish the size of that fairing!)

It's hard to tell as the fairing has extra plastic on it to disguise it's true look. The swing arm looks like a BMW except it is on the wrong side for them.

Just please tell me they didn't lose the sound.

1200 cc could be nice and I can think of a few changes I would like to see but The VFR was soo visceral. Please don't let them have made just another bike out of it.

:please:
