Feast your eyes on the truly STUNNING new VFR kitted out with a V5 engine!

Clicky

That is absolutely stunning! No longer can the VFR be called an old mans bike, i would seriously consider buying one of these when my restriction is up.

That is a dodgy MCN mock-up, I wouldn't expect the new VFR to have the Fireblade tank and mirrors, CB1000 front end, tail unit and exhaust, some odd CB1000/GSXR/954 Blade fairing and a VFR800 rear wheel. I'm sure they will be a little more original. Still, it does seem like quite a promising technical spec.

It's like when MCN when on a styling exercise and said the next fireblade was a V4... It was basically an RCV212 with the headlights on the intake! The new blade looked NOTHING like it.

What a load of rubbish. But who to believe: Truth or just cheap shooting down?

I'd love them to release a bike along these lines... Well they can keep the button gear change! But I'm not going to believe any hype until I read it on a Honda Press release/website

The other mock up looks nice too:

I think I've resigned myself to getting one if they bring out a major revision, I wouldn't buy a new VTEC.

Hope they change the looks to be a more updated Pre-VTEC VFR800, it's still one of my favorite looking bikes (Which is why I bought it)

Sad, eh?

MCN are always presenting pics of bikes that don't/will never exist. They should be made to drop the 'news' part of their title because clearly much of what they use to sell their paper is pure fabrication.

Its not actually about the VFR but on that R6 what the hell kind of numberplate holder is on the back of that that looks bloody stupid

Mock up looks nice tho pretty bad it'll never happen.

Would be a shame to lose the distinctive front profile, the underseat exhausts, the chain drive etc....

Mock-up? Mockery up more like...

It's quite funny the way MCN mentioned the belly exhaust, then forgot to airbrush out the pipe going to the pillion's ringpiece.

Oh noes! someone didn't view all the photos!

If you look at the engine detail photo (2nd one) you will see that the back bank of cyclinders down pipes goes that way down to the belly exhaust

Good observation though Neutral

It's a typical MCN hoax, right?
