Honda’s new mysterious V4 bike finally leaked into the internet. And the bike is the 2010 Honda VFR1200. It is similar to the many sources’ assumption. And it is clearer after these spy photos below coming. But, it will be finally even clearer this fall when the bike launching.
The 2010 Honda VFR1200 features Honda’s Variable Cylinder Management system. This feature makes the bike more efficient as well as it will shut down the fuel supply to some of the cylinders under low engine load conditions, such as cruising at a steady speed on the highway. This technology has been used by Honda on their car such as the 2009 Honda Pilot. According to the Honda President Takeo Fukui (in 2007) this Honda’s technology could decrease fuel consumption by 30%.
But the only fuel efficiency is not enough. According to MCN, the bike is also powerful with power almost 200bhp. Previously, we guessed that the bike will be a serious competitor for the Kawasaki GTR1400. It was not too wrong. But, the right answer is that the bike is also able to compete with one of kings of road, Suzuki Hayabusa.
