Per an email I got today, here's what to expect when the timer is up:
"We are very pleased to tell you that the new VFR 1200F will be launched online on Thursday 8th October at 12.00 CET (11.00am GMT).

Linky? I guess I may have to get interested now...

Wow I actually like how it looks... I'm curious to read of any ride reports. I'm starting to seriously think this will be my replacement bike when my 5th gen hits the 100K mark.

 

liking it a lot.....i'll take one in burnt orange pls.

 

Does anyone know what the horsepower output is???

 

on second thought i'll stick with sunbeam pearl white!

 

cant remember where i read it but i seem to recall 170 bhp....150 hp at the wheel.

 

I like it.

I hope the center stand is standard. In some shots, I cannot see the center stand but the picture with the fully kitted out one with the panniers shows the center stand.

Looks like that lower cowl should be easily removable for oil changes.

Not sure about the triangle exhaust. I hope there is a seat cowl but given the shape of that area, it looks like one won't be there. I like the look and tradition of the seat cowl on the VFRs.

I want one. Plain and simple.

I think it looks most excellent, and imagine the performance will be fantastic.

No, I don't work for Honda.
