My last (I promise) idea for the new vfr. More edge and clear lines. Same riding position like the sixth generation and all the goodies that you guys like: NO V-tec , 1000 cc , 140 HP , CB 1000 r wheels.
So? Do u like it more then my other proportions

I like it! :fing02: Close to the actual model, but more integrated if you ask me. Love the rear wheel!!
Does it come without the electrical problems? :goofy:

Like the angular lines. Ducati 848 like.
Ditch the curved, organic, flower-like wheels. They don't work with the sharp lines of the bodywork. Do not argue this with me... I am correct. :angry:

I have to agree with other posters about the wheels....ditch the flower wheels. Polished or white wheels would be nice.

Don't like the angles on the gas tank. Would look better smoothed out.

Frankly, I am sick of sharp "angular" designs and pine for the old days of rounded curves instead.

Try to imagine how it would look if Audi designed it.

Also tired of the rear ends up in the air that look like honey bees in heat.

Bring back the proportions of the RC30. We don't need 4 headlights!

Hey that's pretty cool!! A definite improvement on the previous ideas... looks sportier than they did, yes slightly Ducatiesque, (slight touch of FJR although sportier as it's more compact). I agree, an 8-spoker rear wheel, or marchesini would go down way cool!!!

I kind of prefer the undertail exhaust of the 6th gen, but other than that, I like it.

Doh!! Yeah Dutchy... THAT'S what it reminds me of!!

Forget the NACA duct tho'!!! Too retro for those straight lines...

Looks good except for the 1993 Saturn "flower wheels".................... :rolleyes:

The undertail exhaust system is gradually but surely falling out of "fashion". Everyone now want the short, low and stubby MotoGP style systems for their new bikes. And to think that I always thought the short, low and stubby system on my Hawk GT looked ugly!! What's the world coming to??! High, Low, Up, Down, In, Out...Make up your minds!!

BTW, I agree with Dutchy, we need more of THIS!!

Yes, need a new rear wheel. Like the NR spindle mount 5 spoke?

May I suggest Shark Gills for the radiator covers?

They want a NACA duct, how about the central intake with quad headlights (small HID's central, large halogen highs outside) on a vertical plane? This will give you a good place for a aero waspwaist windshield.

Great color, nice exhaust.

To me it is too close to the 6th Gen. I'm hoping if/when Honda comes out with the next VFR that it is a large departure in looks (I own a 6th Gen and like it, I just want something new) while keeping some of the major "VFR" items...such as SSS.
#14

I hate emb-120's, I'm glad most of them are mothballed... The undertail exhaust does look a bit dated and weight wise lower/less is better.

Nop.What I m saying is that honda is deaf towards vfr owners for a new bike.
