    Hello to all...
    I really have REAL information about the new V bike from "leading japanese manufacturer",and i would be glad to share it with few conditions for my safety,regarding not to loose my job.First of all i will never say the bike's nomenclature name,or say the name of manufacturer,or say the name of leading east-european exhaust company or similar statements that could later be used against me.The bike is already delivered from Japan to factory,and before you ask it,NO it is absolutely impossible to take photos,but i remembered some general specifications,info&reasons why is this bike special while chatting with engineers.The idea for this came from my friend who rides the 2006 v bike and he is desperate for a new model,i myself ride scooter(piaggio)and am not a real bike fan,casual weekend driver.So,if you are interested please say or someone else already has the info?

    From what i can say as amateur the bike did not change much compared to 2006 i know,it is a little bigger lets say 10%,little bit "rounder" in front but with it is generaly "sharp" in design,the biggest difference i can see that there is no more exhaust under the rear end,now it is under the bike,second is that it has i dont know english that good,the metal "leg" that connects the rear wheel is on both sides not just one as before...i also know how much cc it has and hp,seen it on a table that mesaures,with original exhaust and with "brand" exhaust.if you want info on specs wait a few min because i wrote it on my smartphone and wife has it,just a minute.

    Does it still have an upright seating position? Does it still have a large fairing?
    So, it has a two-sided swingarm? And no underseat exhaust? Do you know when it is coming to America?

    123hp original exhaust on the measuring table on the 10134rpm max

    I'm going to go ahead & say that I don't believe it until I see it. I'm not saying you are lying per say but this post is WAY to fishy. If you are so worried about losing your job for leaking info, why are you on a VFR website that has members from all over the world? Including some in Japan near HQ Honda?

    Honda has been stringing all us VFR fans for far too long & I'm not getting my hopes up.

    KC-10 FE out...

    The "physical force" you are talking about is called torque.

    KC, I have to agree with you all the way on this, why would he come on here and tell us hes concerned for his job and he works there and dose not know what a swing arm or farrings are ? why would they go back to a old swing arm ?
    very fishy :bs:

    Mmm something fishy, something not, I've seen what looks to be the patent article, could be a thread from that. But wouldn't surprise me either that Honda would go that way 123hp Hmm? has to be a 1000cc, matching torque numbers. FJR wind screen style? oh brother, saw/ read the exhaust was going that way as well as the SSSA going by by. Yes, seeing is believing... LOL and as far as losing a job? Cats out of the bag my friend, thanks for keeping our hopes alive :wink:

    Dropping the single-side swingarm is probably a cost saving thing. From what I understand, Honda went with a less adjustable front shock on the CBR1000RR as well this year. You get somethin....you take somethin' away!

    Hello again!
    I was also worried when my friend asked me to give some info so if you know a better way than this one (anonymus) please tell me.first off all as I said i am NOT a v-bike fan,i ride a scooter:).Second what would be the place rather than this site to give some info?I dont know much about bikes but consider this.if you looked carefully i'm from croatia,and factory is located in slovenia.if you think that there is no jobs in exhaust factory other than mechanics you are wrong.how about a titanium supplier?how about cargo transportation from rotterdam,or rijeka?how about a certified technician on hydroforming machine?food supply?protective garment?consider it...many,many jobs.You should read more carefully,i protected my self legally in case something goes wrong...also consulted my lawyer...so when the new bike comes,will you buy me one?:) and YES i dont know mechanics to well...regards
