Now this is what would call very, very nice. According to MCN this will be Honda's all new V5 VFR1000 for 2009

VFR1000F

VFR1000GT

this has been a rumour for so long, I'll believe it when I see it.

Looks very convincing though

Wow, what a beautiful bike !
I loved my VFR800.
I think still today it is regarded as the best Sports Tourer ever.
Now with a 1000cc motor. Pity Amid doesn't allow bike rides on Kyalami anymore. This would be on my wishlist.

Indeed a nice looking bike. I like the integrated exhaust design. With a V5 it would have an interesting sound. Very Happy

Is this pitched against the K1200S or GT (with the panniers) Question

Must say I am not sure where they pitch it now. Previously the VFR800 was pitched against the earlier R1100S in the "Sports Tourer" category but the new R1200S in my opinion has moved away from this category. Question

Must say it looks like a tourer that can mix it with the superbikes in the twisties. Luckily the bank manager will not allow this now, at least until the LT is paid up. Shocked
