Hmm... Interesting proposition. Killer looks, 200 BHP and the Honda reliability.
By the way is cylinder deactivation a first for a production motorbike? Haven't heard much apart form the CBR 1100xx prototype Honda had tested earlier..Comment

A few years ago I participated in a contest by Overdrive about designing a bike/car suitablefor India. Although I didn't reach even the runner-up list, please humor me. I did sketch a half faired bike withvarying engine capacities. Along with which the engine would sport twin parallel cylinders with the very same concept of variable cylinders. I figured it would be achievble and suitable fr he India market.
Anywho, nice to see an update coming in for the VFR. I'm a fan of Honda's sport touring series and absolutely would love to see this bike here. Personally I feel even the Interceptor would be good enough for India.
EDIT: Saw the fresh pics. Very clean design with flush lines. great bike!Last edited by 46wannabe; 08-21-2009, 12:26 AM.10 Commandments:

You sure this is the Honda ? The overall build and styling looks BMW to me, and shaft drive reinforces that thought.Originally posted by nitrosatya View PostThe new VFR1200 is rumored to be 200 bhp! It has got usd forks! That's simply awesome! Got some more pics. What do you think guys?

It is symmetrically designed! And thats where the doubt ends!Originally posted by Ricci View Post
I also thought the same. But then again compare the 09 VFR800 with this. There are many similarities.Comment

Lol , saw profile view of S1000RR and I thought 'wow , BMW seems to have hired Japanese if not Italian stylists' , then I saw the front end, and though maybe the stylist was the son of a German father and Italian mother ! All other angles , it looks the biz .Originally posted by nitrosatya View PostIt is symmetrically designed! And thats where the doubt ends!

Simply look at the mirrors. It will clear all your doubts.Originally posted by Ricci View Post

yeah ? VFR750 is chain driven, VFR800 both generations chain driven. The mirrors look like they were taken off the MV Agusta F4.Originally posted by 46wannabe View Post
BMW is moving away from their traditional designs for the new sport-inclined bikes that they probably hope will be more popular . Take S1000RR - chain drive , regular front ( USD forks ).Originally posted by MavericK46 View Post^The absence of a duolever front should dispel the BMW rumour for goodMan will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on.Comment

maybe not each and everyone from the rangeOriginally posted by Ricci View Post
but most of them do. Also look at the mirors on the '09 Fireblade . And, its really besides the point. Fact remains that it looks vey interesting. Sweet bike.
BTW, the S1000RR is one kick ass bike but lets leave that to a different thread shall we.10 Commandments:
