2010 Honda ST1200: are you Shamu's mom?

MCN claims it found these images in a patent filing and it appears they show the 2010 Honda ST1200 or a similar tourer that shares its V4 engine and shaft drive with the 2010 Honda VFR1200, a bike people are calling “Shamu.” Originally introduced in 2002, the Honda ST1300 Pan European is due for a replacement and Honda has said to expect several models based around its new 1200cc V4 engine. We can’t find the original patent filing, but looking at these images closely, they do appear to be consistent with a patent and many components do closely resemble those on the leaked VFR.
