    Honda really is drip feeding us VFR1200 updates but at least they are letting us know it is still coming. Unfortunatally you'll have to watch and listen to 1:18 of crud before you get to hear the good bit.

    H'mmm wonder what it'll sound like with a Staintune ? :cool:

    I wish it wasn't expected to cost over 16,000 Euro (this side of the pond), ie 50% more than today's version. That puts it above FJR/ST13/GTR14. Any of you guys think it looks pretty? :rant:

    Hmmm I tell ya Honda is really putting up quite the marketing plan a little bit here and there. I'll still believe it when I see it in person. LOL Sounds like a HONDA

    The kid's smile as he bicycles down the grassy road says it all.
    There is nothing like a two-wheeled steed to fill your heart with joy.


    I am hoping the performance of this new bike is stunning. It will need to be because the visual aspect doesn't really do anything for me.

    LOL, this vid is getting slammed on other motorcycle forums, for the most part they think it's ghey! and hasn't a thing to do with a new model motorcycle. more of a fairy tale dream thing going on, I can see why folks are thinking that. it is a bit out there. Guess Honda needs to revisit their marking approach??

    Actually the video isn't that original, Honda did a very similar video for the S2000 back in 2001.

    some of the comments are funny.Personally looks are disappointing to me.

    Pull up ur socks
    cause i can see ur ugly legs.:biggrin:

    what happened? Honda decided to build a BMW...?!?:biggrin:

    looks terrible is that the future of Honda. they need to fire their designers and start from scratch.
    :biggrin:


    Lets be honest guys.Japanese have NO clue on aesthetics.The only sport Japanese bike that looked (notice past tense) great was Yamaha R1 and that was helped by Italian designers. Latest R1 got ugly and lost the original lines.
    Currently no Jap bike looks anything special including our VFR ironically old school 3rd Gen looks the best. followed by 5th gen but still no Italian legs.
    Japanese love to shove technology on your face (often unnecessarily-read who needs VTech on 6th gen) but forget the estatics example are many but ZX14? What a great ugly bike ....:biggrin: Anyway I most likely will buy a Guzzi in the future.

    Makes me wonder who the audience is they are trying to sell it to. It's definitely not me, the older distinguished rider.(hehe) It is really for the younger market. Reminds me of something that goes with Anime.

    Yes I'm old, but I know what I like and what classic motorcycle lines look like and this ain't it or even close. I guess it's my time to turn myself in. You know Soilent Green?

    Yes...great point! But after all, how many ways are there to sell something? The advertising game keeps using the same tired techniques to sell us stuff. By appealing to the elements of lust, greed, fear, ego and vanity, they sell us. Same old &#$# over and over...

    That is why I love those few products and companies that don't need to advertise. Their product or service is true quality and so, sells itself.

    Hell, I'm only 23 and this does not appeal to me whatsoever. But then again, I have been told over and over I'm much more mature for my age than most. Either that, or I have an old soul.
