Yammer Dan Posted December 1, 2009 #1 Posted December 1, 2009 The New V-4 VFR1200F Sound like a 1st Gen?? Looks a lot like one too. Got to be some way to stick some bags on it!!! I'll bet "Ugly" can't stay close to it. But not to much info on it yet. Could be very interesting!!

RandyR Posted December 1, 2009 #3 Posted December 1, 2009 I saw it too. Looks like a good bike. The next bike I buy though will need to be one that gets 50 miles per gallon of regular gasoline at 75mph, bags, trunk, frame mounted fairing, adjustable windshield, seat height not to exceed 30 inches, comforable to ride 12 hours a day on either highway or 2 lane twisties. cassette player optional.. I don't need a bike with a 170hp engine, just one that will pass safely and quickly on the US 2 lane roads.
ctraylor Posted December 1, 2009 #4 Posted December 1, 2009 I just bought a 99 BMW K1200lt about a month ago and it is the sweetest bike I have ever ridden. It is fuel injected and has gotten 49 to 50 mpg on every tank I have burned. The saddle bags are not as big as my Venture but I will be buying a trailer for long hauls. I also read that BMW has a straight 6 engine in the plans for next year.
CMIKE Posted December 1, 2009 #5 Posted December 1, 2009 That honda kinda reminds me of one of them victory visions. I hope Yamaha has not seen the Vision and started to get any ideas about the 2010 RSV. From what they wrote there...i bet it will run hard if you showered down on it. I bet it gets real squirrelly at higher speeds with that trunk sticking up so high. Somebody go buy one so we can really hear how they perform.
CrazyHorse Posted December 1, 2009 #6 Posted December 1, 2009 I'd consider it if it was a beefier bigger bike.
Yammer Dan Posted December 1, 2009 Author #7 Posted December 1, 2009 I'd consider it but after my accidents I don't think I'm going to be adding any to mine.
painterman67 Posted December 1, 2009 #8 Posted December 1, 2009 Not sure about the new one, but honda made a 1100 or 1150 VFR INTERCEPTOR with a v-4. Tons of power and fun to ride It was back in the late eighties . Rode real good but I was also 20 years old. David
Skid Posted December 1, 2009 #9 Posted December 1, 2009 Looks like Yammer is about to go to the Dark Side....
Freebird Posted December 1, 2009 #10 Posted December 1, 2009 I'm waiting on the Yamaha V6. 250 HP. I know they can do it, just needs a bit of tweaking for our use. http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outboard/05pi/f250/05pi.aspx
