Maybe I'm missing something, but I have not seen a 2011 or 2012 listed anywhere on Honda's website. Discounts are deep on the 2010 models. Are they going to continue to produce this bike? I saw one writeup on a 2012 listed here, but nowhere else.

What gives?

Sometimes, if a mfgr has excess stock of a certain model in the warehouses, they will skip a year for importing new models, and sell off the existing NOS already in the warehouses.

No need to stack them higher, just costs them more.

Makes sense. I know Suzuki pretty much skipped an entire model year recently, just wasn't sure what Honda was up to with the VFR. It would be a shame to see it vanish after one year of production....

Rumour1) is that at EICMA in Milan (november 10-13), Honda will show an update for the VFR1200. Some cosmetic changes and a larger gas tank.

1) From a dealer with good contacts within Honda Europe.

2011s already on the showroom floor in Canada.
