how would you like top run 'big bang' twin and then flick a switch and run a staggered fire V4! Then aother flick and you have a real twin or alternaing triple?
id completely hate it. motorcycles are the last bastion of vehicular purity. most people drive like pure shit because the car does everything for them. do you really want to usher in a new breed of riders who are that pathetically incapable? arent the ones we have now bad enough? lets not even talk of the weight added by all this nonsense

It better be that Hi tech and that good, cause it doesnt have the looks to bargain with! If it is that good, and I have a suspiscion it will be, it will find a market.

I really dont like the stub exhausts theyre putting on bikes lately. Either bring it up high or keep the whole thing under the bike like the Buell system.

Those pics show a front mounted radiator which I dont think will happen, if they keep the side mounted radiators that the current VFRs have theyll have to cut the fairing panels to allow airflow which I think would look better anyway.

The comfort might be my favorite thing about VFRs. One of the few bikes not made only for 5'4" Japanese guys.
