Great post BUT... If Carlsberg made motorcycles... They'd be CANDY GLORY RED...
That'll be a goldwing then 8rfl@
@tu* Lose the variable valve timing (VVTI), an' I'll have one!, I have an original 94 vfr in the shed, and the general feeling within the V4 community is that the later VVTI 800's do not measure up to the older VFR's, riders do not seem impressed when the valves join chorus mid-corner cranked over under acceleration. This is only hearsay as i've not had the chance to test one myself, but it does sound a little scary. Big capacity V4 Bird sounds good though, bring it on Mr H.......where's me wallet.If its a V4 it simply wont be a bird!
The engine charecteristics, smoothness, engine breaking etc will be completely different. What is needed is a high power reworking of the bird with ABS, higher top gear for much better fuel economy, genuine HID lights. Electrical diagnostic plug. More high quality stainless bits (sorry Paul!) Much better quality on thicker downpipes and forks that dont corrode. Dzus tyre fastners instead of crappy plastic thingies. A side fairing replaceable nylon "crash bar" like the early CBR 1000's. Corbin style seat with medical gel inserts front and rear, higher flip up fairing. Back to analog clocks, Much larger, more brightly lit LED.s for clock etc ( I can no longer read them without reading glasses!) More accurate speedo, Heated grips. Ditch HISS - its too expensive, design anti theft lock into bike itself for front forks and retractible rear lock like on some scooters. Accurate fuel gauge with miles to empty calculator like my cars. Cruise control and variable valve timing (VVTI) LED daylight running lights aka Audi. LED high output rear light. Rear fog light switchable option. Sprague type clutch. Wheels designed with 3 spokes and all smooth surfaces leaving nowhere for dirt to hide, restrained Nano tech self cleaning self healing paint job (it exists, scratches simply dissapear slowly) Redundancy built into reg rec, so keeps going when it fails. Much better fuel range - bigger tank and better economy. Thicker linings on pads, floating disks, radial brakes. Tyre pressure indicators that give warning light or pressure readout in instrument display. Bike lighter than current bird, designed to handle better round corners, consider single sided swinging arm. Better front forks, better rear shock, more comfortable larger footrests with rubberised gel comfort inserts for rider and passanger. Power take off points for accessories. Circuit breakers instead of fuses just like home. Clear indicators, larger blind spot mirrors like on quality cars. Self cancelling indicators like Yamaha used to make. Garmin Zumo 660 sat nav extensible and flexible mount to alow it to be lenghned to see over baglux type tank bag. Stainless or titanium axles. Better on bike waterproof storage compartments, cooler running engine, much better finish on radiator and frame plugs as standard in stainless. Hugger and undertray, 190/55 rear section tyre. Bike to bike intercom option, matching helmet ranges designed with bluetooth intercom and hands free phone as standard. Scott oiler with high capacity reservoir as standard. Proximity alert device.
Wow, that went on longer than I thought! Its probably a new thread
Come on Honda, where is she!
Enjoy!+
