I bought a lottery ticket, so maybe I can call it "MINE" next month.... :goofy:

Of course as soon as that happens , you will be obligated to ship it over here to show it off. ;)

If I win the $10mio, I will ship one over to the USA and hold a free tombola for VFRD!

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).

Sleestack...in keeping with the TV/Movie theme and the fact that the front "nostrils" are angular and it has big eyes...

^^ 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.

Really? You think so? I always thought the 3rd gen was almost timeless in it's design. I think it looks great even today.

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.
