Honda's New VFR

It’s been a while since Honda has made any significant changes to the VFR. The latest rumors have the company introducing a new VFR with a 1200cc engine. Shigeru Takagi, Honda’s Senior Managing Director, confirmed that the company will be introducing a new V4 powered bike, “We really believe we can develop a new era starting with this V4-powered machine. It is just the beginning, and represents a new breed of Honda which will define Honda’s own taste and styling. This bike will be the perfect road machine that Honda customers have called for. It will be an epoch-making machine and more bikes from the V4 platform are possible. We know people think this bike is going to be a replacement for the VFR800 and the Blackbird, but we do not see this bike as a replacement for anything. We see it as an all-new breed of machine, something very special.”

The new VFR will be introduced later this year, and will be in showrooms in the Spring of 2010. The VFR concept drawing is by Vanjey-Design.
