Air-bag? This thing will prolly go for 20k without DCT. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veefer800Canuck Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 More gadgets we didn't ask for. If they produce this, I think the ST1300 is done for. Why have two bikes so closely positioned in the marketplace? Where is our chain drive VFR1000 with 140hp and 510lbs wet weight? :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 IF, in fact, ANY of that is true, I will almost guarantee you that they came up with the cylinder deactivation *not* to "extend the range", but to actually keep the same range as the 1200F. (because the airbag will make the tank EVEN SMALLER!) :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfunkomatic Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Looks like an interesting replacement/hybrid for the VFR and ST1300. Makes a lot of sense - two birds with one stone. Sounds like a really cool bike. Competition for the FJR and Concours? I'll be interested to see it in full regalia - colour and in real life. I'd buy it over the 'F' model VFR.

Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted June 6, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted June 6, 2010 "On the performance-oriented VFR1200F, such economy wasn't needed, but on the touring bike, the extra range it will offer is a valuable selling point, offsetting the additional cost and complexity of the system." I'm sorry. Performance-oriented? :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer jasonsmith Posted June 7, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted June 7, 2010 Providing it's for real and it's not ugly and it's not break the bank expensive I would for sure buy the non DCT version over the F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not painfully obvious to you people that this is the ST1300 replacement? Some of the discussions on this board really surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" The bike, which replaces the firms' ST1300 Pan European, was shelved earlier this year due to the effects of the worldwide recession."

JES_VFR Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Who am I kidding, I would be absolutely tickled with a 5th gen reproduction run!!! :fing02: So would most of us here,... Still I like the new VFR1200F and wouldn't toss one out of the garage. But that thing looks like they beat it with the ugly stick, set it on fire and then spray painted the results. I wonder how much of all the new wiz bag gadgetry is on the bike an how much is programming in the PCM???? I bet within one year of the "T"'s debut there were be a ton of parts bin swapping to make custom vfr1200's that are mix of F and T models. Paging Veefer800Canuck....

The VFR1200T is it's replacement. The bike you refer to is something that will never be sold here anyway. Probably a Europe only model as is everything else interesting coming out of the Big Three. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer jasonsmith Posted August 1, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted August 1, 2010 The current Motorcyclist Magazine has an article on the 1200T. They seem to think it will make it's debut this fall and they are saying it will most likely replace the ST1300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I'm actually pretty satisfied with my 1200F. Gonna be neat to see the T when it shows itself off. Honda's really doing some neat things,and I give them an A for effort. Rock on "Big Red" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I am not much of a tourer so the VFR1200T has no appeal to me since I already have a VFR1200F which is more motorcycle than I expected it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer jaimev34 Posted August 2, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted August 2, 2010 Looks pretty good in white. It looks like the new Multistrada from the front. Although I don't like the new Multi at all, this one looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
