V5 Vfr?

Bout freaking time. When Randy Mamola or Kevin Schwantz tested the V5 RC211V Rossi won so many championships on he said it would make an awesome road bike, power was completely linear and silky smooth.
That was the 990 of course, the 800 version is a lot less user friendly apparently, just ask Nicky Hayden.

If they make HRC engine upgrades available I'm selling the gsxr.

220 hp sport tourer anyone?

Shoot, I would mind seeing that engine in a new generation Magna either. Competition for the New V-Max. With 3 up front and two in the rear, the rider wouldn't have to straddle an extra wide motor. Honda needs to step up and build this VFR if they haven't already.

I'd be happy with a sportier VFR1000 keeping it a V4 still.

I'd be in line to buy one for my next bike if that was the case.

with the desmodeci rr and rsv-4 floating around its an awesome opportunity to top the italians. then again the new blade kicks so much ass i find it difficult to believe that they would abandon it so soon

Oh they've run the VFR and the CBR concurrently since the CBR's inception. I don't think there's any reason to believe they'll stop.Heck,they should bring back the RC51 and basically give aficionados of all motor types the opportunity to go red!

Agreed.

(and the blade still looks like a mongaloid after hitting a brick wall)
