Member Contributer Ultimatevfr Posted May 17, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted May 17, 2014 I bought a lottery ticket, so maybe I can call it "MINE" next month.... Of course as soon as that happens , you will be obligated to ship it over here to show it off. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted May 17, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted May 17, 2014 If I win the $10mio, I will ship one over to the USA and hold a free tombola for VFRD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I will call this a "Looper" just like the movie...... As Honda seems to loops back in time to an older formula and styling that works better for many VFR owners(?)...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Belfry Posted May 18, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted May 18, 2014 Just read a British review of the 2014 (which they call a 6th gen ...). How about naming it after the 2014 VFR800 VTEC Project Leader: Tanaka; or the Assistant Chief Engineer: Hayashi (if that sounds a little too much like Hayabusa, maybe use his first name: Kanji).

Member Contributer JZH Posted May 19, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted May 19, 2014 ^^ That's it! I remember sharing a snigger or two on the Big List when the "Klingons" debuted (which, ISTR caused so much offense that VFRD was established in response!) But now I quite like the 5th-gen's looks (convenient, as I bought one). Much less dated-looking than my 3rd-gen. Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought the 3rd gen was almost timeless in it's design. I think it looks great even today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer JZH Posted May 22, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted May 22, 2014 At the risk of being called a race traitor, I have always slightly preferred the looks of the 4th gen...at least since 1994! Some angles I just don't like on my bikes--the white wheels too New Wave, the front turn signals too prominent, and the frame too "heavy" looking...but it was never enough to get me to trade-in my 3rd-gens for a 4th-gen.
