I'd love to see these made. I'd have to find a way to pay for one. Still dont think i could give up my 5th gen.

my 600rr sees 105c (220 ish) all the time, RC51's have them on the side, i think maybe they could be a bit bigger with bigger fairing holes, but side radiators work. its hard to pack a big front radiator into a V engine bike because there is not as much room in front.

they basically put an 09 1000rr and current vfr together and added a fresh gixxerish front end

you can see that above the exhaust can you've got the midpipe of the vfr still in there
somebody missed that doing the photoshop

Honda, PLEASE build this bike and sell it in the good ol' USA!!!! The Interceptor is way overdue for new/fresh Intercepter model. When did this current design come out... I believe the year was 2002! I think it's pretty cool that therer are two different models for the same bike.... the sport version and the sport-touring version.

I wonder if the sport version would replace the CBR1000RR??? I guess time will tell

Honda seems to have scaled back on the VFR this year. It's only available in black now for 2009. It's a shame since the V-four has a great history. I loved my '82 VF750 Sabre that I learned to ride on. The V5 would sell pretty well probably just because of the appeal to those who watch MotoGP. Now if Honda would just be like Ducati with their Desmosedici and offer a street legal racebike
