smackdoogle Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Exciting!!!! Now, at the rate that Honda has blessed us with another VFR 750 or 800 we should see updates in a few years Kidding, glad to see Honda giving us V4 lovers something to read.

Member Contributer Switchblade Posted July 23, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted July 23, 2012 YEAH BABY, looks like Honda is starting to get excited about V4 again !!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgin Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Thats a pretty cool read. I really don't know much about honda's v4's besides the newer vfr engines, so I'm looking forward to more updates to that site to learn more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted July 23, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted July 23, 2012 Nice catch - that really will be interesting. For anyone that wants more info before the site gets updated, I uploaded an article from 1993 that appeared in Motorcyclist that provided some development history of the early Honda V-4's through Gen 3. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/files/file/125-v-four-evolution-motor-cyclist-august-1993/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted July 23, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted July 23, 2012 maybe the prelude to a VFR1200 in RC45 trim in 2013? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VietHorse Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Just great! One more thing helps me to prove with friends why I ride a V4. Hahah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglasthecook Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Doesn't Honda do this almost every year? I remember seeing the history of the V4 on their site a year or two ago. I really wish they'd make a real V4 sportbike. I'm getting tired of waiting for them to come around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4 Rosso Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Doesn't Honda do this almost every year? I remember seeing the history of the V4 on their site a year or two ago. Well not every year. But they did when they introduced the 2010 VFR1200: http://www.honda-v4.eu/en/en/Home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Rice Posted July 25, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted July 25, 2012 I'm with Dutchy on this one. It's been a while since the last VFR rumor mill has stopped churning. It was fun IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V4 Rosso Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 More pages with some cool pictures have been added to the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keny Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 A lot of cool pics indeed, spechally the old AMA RC24 spechals (X6?) Makes me miss my old girl again.............................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatiePotatie Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I especially like the part where the change from 750-800cc never happened, it just suddenly went from a sportsbike to a chain driven, VTec all rounder and the 5th gen was never even born. Come to think of it I'm not sure if I saw a 4th gen either.. At least not until the final page which lists all of them together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Vee-Ef-Ar Posted August 20, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted August 20, 2012 Come to think of it I'm not sure if I saw a 4th gen either.. Yeah, pretty lackluster between 95 and 01. Meanwhile the RC211V is included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud786 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 One thing that Poses a Question? What does Honda have in store for the INTERCEPTOR name, I'll bet there's something out there on the Black board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 21, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted August 21, 2012 Well.... the 1200 engine does have a bolt on that enables the shaft drive. Remove that and you can fit a sprocket...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4 Rosso Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 What does Honda have in store for the INTERCEPTOR name, I'll bet there's something out there on the Black board Maybe, but that black board is not anywhere near Honda Japan HQ or R&D.

douglasthecook Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Guys, this is getting exciting: Honda CEO Confirms V4 Sport Bike Project is Underway http://www.asphaltan...ike/#more-35409 Not gonna hold my breath on this being affordable. Not that it matters, but Honda needs to make an affordable bike for the masses, something exotic, just look at the RSV4, it is affordable, but exotic as well, and when I;'m saying affordable, I'm talking $20k or less. The recent offering from Honda have been very anti-climactic, the CBR 1000RR is not a bike I would buy, as it just doesn't stir my soul, not that I have one of those either.

V4 Rosso Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Hmm, the title says a V4 is confirmed but the text doesn't show that at all. but Honda has finally officially announced that work has begun on what is presumed to be a V4 sport bike But lets hope it is true.
