Spied: 2010 Honda VFR1200
So much for MCN's scoop. Here's spy photos of the 2010 Honda VFR1200 testing in light camo. From these images we can clearly see a very upright riding position, a huge seat, single-sided shaft drive, an enormous silencer and that controversial headlight; pretty much a production version of the Honda V4 Concept. Looks a tad bloated, but that might just be the price we have to pay for a BMW K1300S-rivalling hyper tourer. Left Lane News

Still looks uninteresting, Honda lead the industry with styling and engineering innovation and now we get this and the Fury.
Touché
That front cowl is tragic.
Since when do Honda give us what we want ? They are giving us what(they think) we need. A bike to do everything, supposedly. I will reserve judgement until I see one in the flesh but I DO like what I see.
Nice Triumph t-shirt. :D
Shaft drive eh? The overall proportions make it look like a Bimmer.
Yawn. I woke up for this?? I'm going back to bed. Wake me when the RSV4 is in dealerships stateside.
Cheers Wes, now I don't have to waste my money on MCN. Fortunately it was sold out when I got to the shop this afternoon!
I seem to be the only person on either side of the pond who thinks the bike looks good. Can't wait to see it finished. I'd say BMW are worried.
Geee, that's uuuhhhh, 'interesting'.
Yawn.
When did Honda lead the industry in styling?
Goon one, yes, when did they?:D
Yikes... and here I was looking forward to this bike. I hope this is not anything like it's going to look when it's all done.
Well style leaders may be pushing it , but I think the CBX, RC30 and the original Fireblade had it going on.

If those are your benchmark, than Honda hasn't led styling for a good number of years now.
DN-01,...Fury,...and this.
I'd love to see the market research Powerpoint that led to these three bikes.
THAT THING IS SSSSSIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK.
I'm going to my dealer today to put down a deposit!!!!!!!!!

errm ..that was my original point at the beginning of the comments
Looks like the cyclops. Been waiting for this for a while, styling seems asymetrical. Fix that head light for the love of...
