"August 17 2004
VFR1200 revealed
Honda is to launch a 1200cc V5-engined replacement for the Blackbird. It will be packed full of anti-crash electronics and be capable of cracking 200mph.
Factory insiders say it will be on sale in 2006 and be blessed with the most powerful engine a road bike has ever used - making around 190bhp.

Youve gotta love the suzuki headlight they used in the CGI....

ABS does suck and so does the traction controll.. If I wanted that kind of crap I would buy anAccord not a VFR1200
