4corsa Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Very nice, but why wouldn't they have the tail cowl on for these shots?Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Airfiddler Posted December 3, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted December 3, 2018 I find it hard enough keeping the black wheels reasonably clean. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VifferJ Posted December 3, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted December 3, 2018 I like it! So what color do you think the panniers will be, white? With graphics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Grum Posted December 3, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted December 3, 2018 Interesting - From the word going around earlier this year was that Honda was discontinuing both VFR800 and 1200, I had this confirmed by Honda Australia, and what was to be a replacement? No answer!!!!! Is the above real flesh and blood or simply an artist impression, smoke and mirrors???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not much to translate. It's just a color scheme. Releasing this month in Japan only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Rectaltronics Posted December 3, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted December 3, 2018 Interesting. Intriguing that they kept the bronze engine covers with that scheme... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxVFR Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I like it, reminds me of the Rothmans Honda colours years ago Maybe it’s supposed to be ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really very close to Rothmans. Obviously, there's the Japanese flag thing, but beyond that I really don't get this scheme. No resemblance to any factory racer I've seen, either, so, eh?

Member Contributer MooseMoose Posted December 5, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted December 5, 2018 It's just a throwback to the original VFRs of the 1980s. RWB are Honda racing colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this one is close to the original US-spec RC24 paint sheme. I'm in love with the NSR250 Rothmans. MC21 or MC28--I'm easy. But it's absolutely everything a 90's era coffin nails race rep paint scheme should be--and on a nasty two-stroke, too. Gotta have one!
