Honda has confirmed to show off its ͠ production version that preview a new breed of bike this autumn. This new bike is planned to be in dealers next spring. As part of Honda preparation, the Honda Europe Division is carrying out a survey to get Honda’s fans opinion about the upcoming ͠ powered bike.
Honda’s survey involves a variety of questions digging the customer perception and opinion, such as overall impression, front view, back view, side view, the color, capacity, motorcycle category and etc.
According our source at MCN suggest the bike will be a 1200cc ͠ at the high-end of Honda�s range � more Super Blackbird than Fireblade.
The other clues come from Honda�s Senior Managing Director Shigeru Takagi’s statement. See after the jump, along with Honda ͠ concept pictures!

Takagi said: �We really believe we can develop a new era starting with this V4-powered machine. It is just the beginning and represents a new breed of Honda which will define Honda�s own taste and styling.

�This bike will be the perfect road machine that Honda customers have called for. It will be an epoch-making machine and more bikes from the V4 platform are possible.

�We know people think this bike is going to be a replacement for the VFR800 and the Blackbird but we do not see this bike as a replacement for anything. We see it as an all-new breed of machine, something very special.�



Takagi refused to reveal the price, but did confirm when we can buy it. He said: �The finished V4-powered machine will be seen in autumn 2009. The bike will be on sale in spring 2010.

“The bike is different to the concept shown for the first time at Milan in 2009 but the link between them is very clear to see.�
