Member Contributer Burns Posted October 18, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted October 18, 2010 I'm sure that's a photochop... that aside, it would seem that would be the vtec setup. If that's the case, they better figure out how to drop some weight, I'd think... an adventure bike that pushing over 500lbs would sure get tiring.

Member Contributer BonusVFR Posted October 18, 2010 Author Member Contributer Share Posted October 18, 2010 Super Fugly IMO! :blink: We will see in a few weeks what it really looks like...but the rumor is it will use "maybe" the 6th gen motor. Also a 1200 version GS competitor will be produced sometime in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer BonusVFR Posted October 18, 2010 Author Member Contributer Share Posted October 18, 2010 From the Moto-station website...with crude translation. "XL800V Crossover, no doubt here hides a credible interpretation of what Honda to unveil us next EICMA in Milan Show. This was already some time that Moto - station .com was instantly. We knew through different sources that the Japanese manufacturer was preparing to present end of 2010 a new road trail equipped with a four cylinder v We had logically considered to a declination of the Honda VFR1200F, newest flagship brand with this type of motorization. In the meantime, two different sources have shown us this new trail would eventually be a cylinder capacity of 800 cm3, what this Honda France note reproduced at bottom of the page seems to confirm it also."

Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted October 18, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted October 18, 2010 The bike will (hopefully) look nothing like that. That looks like an incredibly useless large displacement dual sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer jaimev34 Posted October 18, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted October 18, 2010 What's up with every new adventure bike having a duck bill (e.g., Multi, VFR1200ST, etc.)? How about an original design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm right there with ya mate - this could very well be my next bike! :cheerleader: And to answer your question - okay it's not an interceptor but I think it should qualify you for VFRD membership - it's a honda V4 after all!

Member Contributer elizilla Posted October 18, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted October 18, 2010 What do you think boys? Not a boy, but it definitely interests me. The long travel suspension and larger front wheel is good for what passes for roads in my part of the world, where you don't have to go off the roads to find sand, gravel, and bumps. The traillie ergos suit my long legs and short torso. I don't care what it looks like, because I want it to ride, not to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer jaimev34 Posted October 18, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted October 18, 2010 yes but for less money you could have this 800 moto Are you sure the beemer costs less? I'd take the beemer, but, last I checked, it's going for around $15k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer elizilla Posted October 18, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted October 18, 2010 But the Honda has the sweet V4! The BMW is a parallel twin and probably makes considerably less power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer creggur Posted October 18, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted October 18, 2010 The bike - a big and hearty YES! The color scheme - No No No... Even if they build it, what are the odds it will come here? I wouldn't bet on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer blkrabit Posted October 18, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted October 18, 2010 Whack off half the bodywork and I might be interested. I'm not sure a V4 is the best off-road mill, but what do I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
