Technically, there isn't much here that's real, but there's still plenty to dissect. Honda is obviously feverishly working on a new V4 engine and that will soon show up in a production bike. Rumor has it that the Japanese company is taking another look at oval pistons, which would allow for more valves and larger combustion chambers. Could this powerplant show up in a new Interceptor? While this is currently nothing more than a sculpture, so was the new VMax when Yamaha first showed that concept. Studying the lines a bit, we can tell that this wouldn't likely be a race bike, but more likely a new street-going model. We also see hubless wheels, which would be an extremely far-out bit of tech if they were to make it into production. Is that possible? According to Honda, yes. Big Red is saying this design is a "new beginning" for the company and the direction that it's headed, and that sounds awfully exciting. We'll be watching.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Obviously its not going to look like that, but overall I think the design is pretty great save for the ugly wheel/tire setup.

 

at least they changed the rims

 

still waiting for hybrid bike to be on the market .

 

Akira!

 

so is this thing gonna fly or run on metal wheels

 

looks like the current fireblade/cbr1000rr

 

The face (upper cowling) looks all smashed on the new 1krr's

 

ghey!!

check out rsvzone.com

aprilia is coming out with a brand new bike called the rsv4 to replace the current rsvr. It's a v4 998cc and boasting a 180bhp..all in a bike that has a dry weight 1kg lighter than the 1098r all this for only $17000-19,000 estimated msrp...this bike will blow the 1098 and ktm rc8 way out of the water.
