Default New Honda for 2012

Dont know if you guys have seen this pic yet but this is the V4 1000cc Honda have planned for 2012. Its supposed to be a derivative of the Moto GP machine and will be known as the RVF1000 like the old days and will be raced in the WSBK. At least this shows that they are capable of designing a V4 bike that doesnt look like a barge....Obviously they have used the paint job off my 89 1000F as a starting point for paint schemes as it is clearly the best one they have and the one they thought of first......

More likely they got the paint job from the early V-4 Interceptors. This is an 85.

They didn't have an 89 here in the US. Is your 89 color the same as my 90?

Same layout but blue where the red is and so on. An opposite colour scheme if you like.

Like all prototypes, it'll get some tweaking before they really hit the nail on the head...Probably be spot on by the mark 3, based on their earlier bikes.

Idk about that new 1000F...? It looks like a gsxr with a single sided swingarm. I had an 85 interceptor with that paint scheme as my first bike. I'm not a fan
