Unless they are getting rid of the dual side radiators and putting a big one in front like most bikes; that coolant oil cooler just doesnt seem likes its gonna do the job for slow riding (Ya, I'm sure it works for a race bike). VFR's have no problem reaching 200F or more with a seperate oil cooler.

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
