    Does this bike actually exist or is it just the magazines imagination?

    I'm pretty sure its gonna happen. The stuff the magazines are getting is more than just hypothetical drawings. It will be a welcome addition to the vfr lineage.

    I think it's a go from Honda. I have read that it will be a different frame than the current vfr 1200f. Perhaps the November dealer show is when the unveiling will be. We'll see. My sense is that this is a full on tourer like the ST., but faster and better handling.

    Man, I LOVE that VFR1200T. Sign me up Honda. As for the exhaust. It isnt too bad looking. The problem with a Buell Type under engine exhaust, is the radiant heat rising up onto the engine/trans. May look cool but I'd trade a little coolness for a better designed exhaust.

    Sure looks good to me! Gonna have to compete with that monster from BMW, the K1600 GT I think it is. The vfr T looks a lot nicer than the BMW and I believe will put out more horses but less torque. It'll be interesting to see the final specs on the "T".

    If it happens, I don't think it's in the same market as the K1600. That's a full on touring bike, I don't care what they call it.

    The K1600 is trying to compete with massive tourers like the goldwing. This is competing against bikes like the concours 14.

    I want to be the first dude who sits on one so I can write an indepth review and maybe fart on the seat cover at the same time.

    I hope this one has nitrous or a blower like they say it will.

    I hope an air bag comes w that bike, what with your farting and nitrous, you'd need it as you go sailing up and over the windshield otherwise. LOL

    I am hoping not so much for an airbag but maybe an option of a Kleenex dispenser for the crybabies.

    Who are these crybabies, you may well ask? These are the dudes who ain't gonna buy one of the 1200s, see one someplace , maybe sit on one for a minute or two and provide a tearful accounting of thier experience and what they would do if they were in charge.

    How can I post things so mean spirited, on the net you may well ask? It's easy, I just use what brain cells I have left and recall all the tears and whining when the new "regular" 1200 was getting leaked.

    So wouldn't a really giant fart and a shot of N02 be more likely to toss a guy off the back of a bike than over the windshield?

    No charge for the physics lesson.

    Prolly. But the humor works better when you picture a dude flying over the windshield w flames shooting out their ass.

    I agree. Thanks for the explanation. I bet it would even be funnier if the bike was a Harley.
