Is the new 2010 1200 VFR going to be a reality or not?????
If so who is buying one??? |
|
I looks like it is going to be a fun bike. Probably a bit smoother than any of the other HyperSport bikes. Should be a good Mid point between the Top end performance of the ZX14 , Hayabusa and the less powerful but more sophisticated and pricey BMW K1300 S. Should be a great bike Love the Honda Shaft Drives (have them on our Wings)
Since I have a Hayabusa and a B King though I won't be buying. I will be anxious to hear from those who do. |
 Shaft drive  Thing is ugly as hell, with shaft drive, and I bet no gear driven cams again, supposedly cylinder deactivation and a bunch of other tech crap that probably won't work well while increasing cost, complexity, and weight. If it weighs as much or more than the 6th gen, never. Now, if they would make a sportier 800cc version with similar weight, suspension, and ground clearance of a 600RR... |

Honda is very good at making well engineered, mechanically brilliant, incredibly boring motocycles. They have piss-poor electrical engineers, and after more than 25 years since the early 80s VFs, still can't make a decent cam chain tensioner. I guess I was mostly referring to my old 1983 CB650. The electrical engineering is dead on. One day when I was riding it the fuse block melted. I made a new one for it and its worked great since. |
