VFR1200F

The new Honda VFR1200F is released soon. When I first caught a little sneak preview I was intrigued but also worried, especially since this bike was pencilled in to become the new Blackbird and VFR800 replacement, the last thing Honda needed was to ruin the reputation of two fantastic bikes. Honda's early press releases stated that the bike was going to be a "Super Tourer", all well and good but thoughts of a big Deauville did creep into my mind, that, I'm afraid to say would have been a massive blunder on Honda's part.

When the concept pictures appeared in the press, everyone was taken aback the bike looked fantastic, although it was clear it was never going to stay that way come the final production model.

So, when the final production model appeared in the press, I have to say I was a little underwhelmed. But, after a reading a couple of test ride articles and staring at the piccies, I can now proudly say that the bike is Effing gorgeous, and I want one, now, or I will hold my breath for a really long time.................
