Honda is scraping the VTEC V4 with an all new V4 for the VRF1000.

Nice. But it doesn't look anything like a tourer. Is that the designation just to keep insurance premiums down like the 'busa and the ZX14?

I'll believe it when I can buy it. And if they make it, I will buy it. :)

I'd like to see Honda make a 750 or 1000 supersport with a V4 in it, like the old VF1000R. The RC30 and RC45 are awesome bikes but they were made in very limited numbers for racing and were pretty expensive. I say make the VFR1000F as the sport tourer and a VFR1000R Interceptor as the lightweight supersport. If Honda makes the latter, I will have a 750 Gixxer for sale. :)

Who wants to bet on whether Dirk buys the first one in Colorado or not?

Thats sweet. I doubt there is much truth there, but we can hope. Ive never liked buying brand new bikes (cause they depreciate so much), but if that comes out I will have a hard time not running down and getting one. Honda had better make a big move like that cause the 08' are hideous.

Maybe by your definition......



I think with a few tweaks my R1 will be a fine SPORT tourer:hump:

If they make it, there's a fair chance I'll be the first in the country. http://www.boulder.swri.edu/%7Eterrell/images/goofy.gif

Amen to that! If they'd replace the black on the plastic with blue, this wouldn't look bad at all:

Come on Honda, give us today's version of the VF1000R!
