2008 Rumor updates/ Two Literbikes
Two Literbikes for Honda in 2008.
The VFR will become more of a sportbike, less of a tourer
1000cc V4(V5 possible but unlikely)
Single sided swingarm
ABS
Central ram air like the 07 CBR600RR
Undertail exhaust like the 07 CBR1000RR
Ergos between current VFR and CBR
Alot less weight
Alot more power
CBR1000RR inline4 1000 so no 1200 RC61 V2 or RCV V4-V5
Short stubby exhaust of a new patented design
Multiple maps(stupid gimick)
Trac-control
Central ram air like CBR600RR
Only 1 day left until the release.

dude if the VFR has single-sided swing arm, and the 1000RR has traction control.... game over - Honda wins.

Well the good news is the VFR is single sided swinger; but it's also just carried over from last year, same 800cc V-Four, no 1000cc V-Four.
I've always wanted to make one a naked bike though, how many naked bikes have an 800cc V-Four, single sided swinger, undertail exhausts, AND bullet-proof reliability?!?!
Side mounted radiators would be a problem though.

Ya but something can be done with plastic, at Daytona bike week there were custom busa choppers built with side rads that looked awesome
