Honda will reveal the new VFR1200F in a few days’ time, and the V4 countdown has appeared on the dedicated site. The Honda presentation will take place in Tokyo on October 8, although we’ve already seen V4 spy shots that give us a very good idea of what to expect.

The Honda VFR1200F will arrive on the market with a twin clutch electronic transmission, available next spring, which will give it even more of a touring aspect to a bike already less sport than tourer. The first version will appear in January next year and will have a traditional transmission with six gears, but a revolutionary drive shaft.

Below are the spy shots of the Honda V4 which shows that the new VFR1200F will have a modern design, but still in the style of this revolutionary bike. It has touring options and seems to have a comfortable ride, but we’ll leave further conjecture for after the presentation.

Here are spy shots of the new Honda V4 1200, ready for the market in 2010. It will take on the role previously held by the VFR 800, as a sport touring bike, and will have some very special technology, including Variable Cylinder Management for example.

These pics show the V4 1200 in its final version, as it was likely on a photo shoot before its presentation at the 2009 EICMA show in Milan in November. According to the source of these pics, the Honda V4 at the end of its run, was surrounded by mechanics and a larger group of people, possibly journalists.

This V4 was equipped with side bags, making it look squat, but comfortable, while overall the wider bike makes it look more touring than sport. Whether the source had been lying in wait in the grass on the side of the road or just passing by, we certainly appreciate the pics!!

Here are the first pics of the new Honda V4 1200, claimed to be a new era in motorcycles due to its variable-cylinder engine. While the impressive motor might have you in mind of superbike technology, the V4 is designed as a sports tourer.

This is handy considering that two out of the four cylinders can shut down when less power is required, reducing emissions and saving on fuel efficiency. MCN expects that the bike could have around 200 hp, which is huge, with a classic beam frame.

The road pics come from Leftlane News and show the Honda V4 road testing, while the studio pics have appeared in the print version of MCN.
