    Premier semestre 2010 : c’est la date annoncée pour la sortie du prochain V4 Honda, présenté à l’état de concept-bike lors du dernier Salon de Cologne. Cette étude de style est-elle amenée à remplacer la VFR, véritable institution depuis sa sortie en 1986 ? C’est un pas que nous franchissons sans hésiter. La dernière mouture de la VFR est sortie en 2002 et, bien qu’elle reste populaire, elle doit muter pour continuer d’exister. Côté design, le chemin est balisé avec la maquette dévoilée en Allemagne en octobre dernier. Avec ces photomontages, nous avons voulu aller un peu plus loin, pour voir si ce show bike perdrait de son allant futuriste en intégrant les éléments lui permettant de rouler… et de passer les normes d’homologation. La VFR va-t-elle ainsi poursuivre sa brillante carrière commerciale ? « La présentation du concept V4 permet effectivement de tester les réactions du marché. Si un certain nombre d’éléments sont déjà bien avancés, visualiser un concept nous permettra d’être plus pertinents dans les études des marchés que nous serons amenés à conduire », nous déclare Jean-Luc Mars, directeur général de Honda en France. Voici donc la VFR dans ses grandes lignes… Mais quelles seront les entrailles de cette nouvelle mouture ? Toujours selon Jean-Luc Mars, « l’innovation sera une composante importante de cette future génération de machines, mais seules les innovations qui intéressent les utilisateurs sont susceptibles de voir une production en série ». En clair, Honda est capable d’innover mais il faut le lui demander. Pour le moteur, il y a de fortes chances pour que le V4 cube à 1000 cm3, voire 1200 cm3. Pour la transmission, Honda a le choix des armes. À noter au passage que la prochaine VFR pourrait également embarquer le système de communication intelligent V2V. À moins que Honda décline une machine à la carte…

    your thoughts?......:unsure:

    I have a friend who is a state trooper in Alaska. When bears come into his town the drives up close to them, shoots them in the butt with his bean bag gun and let's them chase him out of town.

    A BC Conservation Officer and I dealt with a similar situation up at Gultus Lake Golf Park a few years back with a two year old. It didn't fare to well unfortunately but it had to be done. Only time I have had to destroy a bear. A magestic animal.

    I agree. Quite majestic. They don't mix with people very well. Always hogging the couch, spilling the punch, licking the finger food tray. Nope they just don't do well at mixers.

    What really pissed everyone off was that this bear kept chasing the girl in the beer cart away.

    Back in my policing days I had to attend to a forestry site about 35-40 miles out in the bush for a complaint about roudy campers. I went out there with another Mountie, George. He was a big Indian fellow. Anyways we got out there and sure enough, there were a couple parties of 5-1- people who were causing the ruckus so I spoke with them to do the ever so typical Canadian thing using diplomacy to attain a goal. Well that worked a bit. Hard to talk to drunks.

    Anyways I looked around at all their stuff and gave them some tips about securing their food and such to avoid bear intrusions to the site.

    George piped in. "Is Winston still around?" "Well yes he is, as a matter of fact"

    You see, we have mostly black bears around here. They are relatively harmless if left alone. The grizzlies are much farther inland. HOWEVER. One grizzly kept finding his way into our area. The Conservation Officers had trapped him and collered him. They were tracking him via satelite. And sure enough, he was around. The campers asked me "Who is Winston?' So I told them.

    Well all those MF'ers were packed up and gone within 5 minutes I swear. Funniest thing I ever saw. They did not give a rat's ass that there were two policement standing there with guns butthey were having nothing to do with a bear that wasn't even in sight.

    I have a newspaper article and picture somewhere showing my wife outside the courthouse here looking at Winston in a live trap a few days later. About a year later, Winston's collar stopped moving somewhere near Princeton. Guess the ole boy died.

    My appologies for the long post

    Naw, Winnie is just a simple bear with simple tastes, surrounded by good friends in what he considers the greatest place on earth.

    Randy, no need to request forgiveness for long posts in the tiger. A little "true story" at the end will do.
