So what's the headlight going to be like??

Well I was wondering if anyone has an answer to how many bulb are in the new VFR's headlight cluster. I can only see one, but thought that there might be more hiding out. :comp13:

I'm hoping there are more than one!

I'm hoping when I go to the motorcycle show in NYC next weekend, they'll have it on the floor to sit on. If so, I'll try to remember to count the bulbs.

For the kind of money Honda wants for this thing, and how it's supposed to be some techno tour de force, it should have LED lighting everywhere light comes out of the thing.

Thanks!
I hope you can sit on it too. I have to wait til February before I can so see it :blush:

Hard to tell from the pics, but I'd say two H4s. One magazine report mentioned the headlight is very good at night.

Pretty sure it has two.I think they are line bea
m which Honda has used on various cbr's.I not familier with the science behind line beam other then the light pattern is defined by the reflector and not the lens.I would be surprised if it was as powerful as the 6th generations 4 bulb set up but I guess we will see.The lack of HId's even on the dual clutch model is surprising as is the mentioned lack of led light bulbs.I thought of this the other day as I was following a city transit bus which had acomplete set of led's! I get the same feeling when I see the optional "scooter" sized top box.Who signed off on that! Nit picking for sure but it makes one wonder with the given price point how they overlooked these finer details.To much design and to little Soichiro Honda common sense enginering?

Hey, not nit picking to me...I ride a lot at night and good headlights are very helpful. Can you have too many bulbs??

I'm still waiting for motorcycles to have a Dynamic headlight system where the light aims where you are going while you are turning....My 07 bimmer has them and they are awesome. Then to go to a car without them.....sux!
