I bet that's a torquey little machine...

[NinjaDoc]

Will start saving from right now as its gonna be lots of green if and when it comes out. But will be a nice transition from my current ride

[mello dude]

Seems to be an annual rumor on the VFR forums. Hope its true, but the classic line goes - I'll believe it when I see it.

[ReconRat]

Shoot. I'd even expect the production engine to spin off a standard and a cruiser with torque and more torque. Got to love a V-4.

[Disclaimer]

RC51 v2.0 or bust. V2>>V4

[magley64]

I do like the grumble of a twin...

I also like the buttery smooth acceleration of my I-4

I'm kinda thinking a v4 could either be the best of both worlds or the worst of both....

[r1crusher]

The typical chop of a CBR1000 w/ an RC51.

Meh.

[Jst2fst]

I like

I'd prefer they drop the new VFR1200 engine into the CB1100 chassis and call it a day... bring back the real Sabre please.

[DAC]

^^Now THAT would be sweet.

[rawlins87]

That bike is the coolest bike ive saw in a while. If ever made i would definetly be in line at some point.

[Gump]

V-4 seems like a downgrade. From a i4

[cOoTeR]

There have been rumors about this for awhile now. Last I heard it was going to be pretty pricey but I've wanted to give one a try for awhile.

Kick ass color scheme

I'm hoping for this bike to be a 200+ HP V4 that has a full electronics package, race ABS and light weight. Something better than my 1199. I went and put a small deposit down on the potential one earlier this year, just in case Honda builds one and I can swing paying for it. I didn't want to miss out. I had a '00 RC51 when it first hit our shores. I was first in line at the dealer for that, but it was much cheaper than this one probably will be.

But as many have pointed out, the rumors have been flying for years. But, patent filings could be linked to this coming true.

The rumors are popping up more and more so I think it will be a reality soon.

My next bike.... Love it!

[Cinci-King]

Honda discussed it at one of the last Moto GP events this year. Hopefully it will morph into an affordable production bike for the rest of us.
