Rumors of a V5 VFR have been floated for so long, that this will be a "I believe it when I see it", IMO. But if true... verrrah nice! :up:

Seeing as the 2009 models are out already and this one isn't on a showroom floor... (Note the date on that page too.)

Honda themselves have been making noises about new V4 machines, however. They claim that there will be a new V4 powered bike in 2010. Whether that is a new VFR remains to be seen.

Here is a video from Honda that leads me to believe they are up to something with a new V4, hopefully a supersport taking the Interceptor back to its roots:

And a quote:


Honda's V4 Concept model was unveiled to the world public at the Intermot in Cologne under the motto, “New Beginnings”. ... more (javascript:show_details())

Later, at EICMA in Milan, Shigeru Takagi, president and managing director of Honda Motor Europe Ltd., stated quite plainly for the first time ever that Honda is on the road to a new era. »The reactions we received from around the world to the V4 design study, from customers, visitors to the fair, dealers and the media were overwhelming. Many people asked: Is this V4 Concept Bike just a design study? Or is there any connection to a future model? I am happy to be able to confirm today that there is a link to more than one model in our future model lineup. The first production machine related to the V4 Concept Bike will reach the market in the first half of 2010. And there will be more to come.
