Default Honda's New VFR 1000!

Honda's groundbreaking, V-5 VFR technology tour de force wasn't unveiled to the public today. Members of the motorcycling press didn't gather at the San Diego Raddison for a complete briefing and introduction to the new motorcycle. Honda executives weren't on hand, and didn't explain the technology and marketing landmarks the motorcycle represents. The motorcycle will not begin shipping to dealerships in the US in the following weeks.

No film at 11:00.

I don't think they're the coolest thing since sliced bread and I won't be first in line to buy one!!!

Just look in a trashcan, or under a damp rock. I think most of 'em died due to the crappy electrical-connectors that Honda conveniently placed under the steering-neck so they'd get pulled and tugged on 'til they failed intermittently.........

A little re-wiring does not scare me.

I'm going to be the first in the line of people who won't be buying this gorgeous non-existant motorcycle. They really need to get busy on not-producing this bike!

THIS JUST IN!!

The first major upgrade to the unavailable VFR 1000 is now also unavailable. In a press release Honda executives stated:

"based on the tremendous excitement generated by our virtual riding experience offered to the public at Bike Week and other major events in the US, we have embarked on our new Virtual Motorcycle Sales program. This is truly a breakthough in "Green" engineering; the manufacture, shipping, and operation of these motorcycles has a 0 carbon footprint.

Cough it up or shut up Honda. There are plenty of producers out there that have a real world offering. Piece of S*** non producers!
