7th Gen on the way!

I'll be first in line thank you!

According to Spanish website Solomoto, we may see a resurgence of Honda’s legendary V4-powered bikes over the next two years. While the 1980s and 90s V4 Honda RC30 and RC45 are considered to be all-time performance bike greats, the current VFR800 sports-tourer simply isn’t in the same league. Its variable-valve-timing (VTEC) system has been criticized for its erratic performance, and the bike has steadily lost ground to newer, more sophisticated rivals.

Honda are now expected to build a non-VTEC, 1000cc V4 which will power their new VFR1000 sports-tourer. And unlike the existing VFR800, the new bike is likely to have USD forks at front, Honda’s Unit ProLink system at the back, and radially-mounted brakes with ABS.

 

you're not holding your breath, are you?

 

I have lost count of how many photochops there are of the supposed 7th gen bike. It's cool that there is a buzz about our bikes but this has been the same photochop (graft a bigger fairing on that year's CBR) and same rumors for five years straight...

 

Sport-Tourer? I hope a seat is at least an option

 

Man it's cool, don't rain on his paraded now, you all know you'll want one. Be nice if that photo is close to what will be, but something says it's not. In the preview rough sketch's via patent applications I've seen it won't have the infamous SSSA nor tail high exhaust.

 

That pictures shows ergos that will cause havoc on my back. It looks like a SSSA, ABS version of a CBR 1000, with a Gen 6ish front cowl. The seat... well you know what that will do to your bum. Sorry to be a pooper but it seems as though a big portion of the "do all" ability is gone with that one.
