Return from Hiatus and the sweet new Flagship Honda
from www.motorcycledaily.com
MotorcycleNewsGuy has been on hiatus. Life gets in the way sometimes, y’know? Well, after seeing the shots of the new Honda VFR1220F I realized I needed to kick life in it’s stupid ass and tell it to take a seat because I need to get back on my game, and figure out a way to grab a ride on Honda’s new red gem.
Alright, so I hear the styling is “polarizing.” I guess that means people either love it or hate it. What do you think? I personally love it. I think it is bold (yeah, that’s an overused word, but I’ve been outta the writing game for a while, gimme a break.) I think I love the color. I think it pushes motorcycle design forward in a way that has been desperately needed given all the design clones out there right now. I really liked the look of the most recent iteration of the CBR1000RR, so I have to say Honda’s new designer has really been pushing all my happy buttons.
There’s a lot of good juicy details out there on the new VFR. Unfortunately, price isn’t one of those little details we have yet. I’m sure it won’t be cheap. But I’m sure I want one.
What do you think?
