New VFR1200
 
Find out all about it, here

looks like it could be ugly. But the new engine sounds like it could be brilliant.

However, with more technology, does it mean more to go wrong?

No pics? There's 360 degree pics on the website that you can rotate to see just how ugly it is from all angles.

Aren't Honda replacing the big Blackbird engine with a V4 too? Is this a merger of the two bikes?

Follow ASH's linky, wait for annoying flash vid to finish. Click on the countdown clock. Wait for annoying flash vid to finish. Click >> icon. Close introduction video. Click on 'Choose your VFR' in bottom right corner. Use mouse to spin VFR round and click buttons to change colour. Throw up at how fugly it is.

There is loads of pics. It looks like a tart's handbag! What have they done?

Plus 130BHP from 1200cc? 263KG weight? Shocking!

I can see the value of my 'real VFR' climbing already, that looks awful.

Unless of course you are running Firefox in Linux, through a Squid Proxy via an SSH tunnel, in which case you are spared the bike in favour of a never ending spinning logo...

The engine might be tuned for torque (I haven't looked at the figures). Agree that it looks like a tarts handbag.
