Fireblade 2020

You think it will arrive?

Latest I have read is that it will not be V4, but I4 with VTEC, 202-220hp.

Rendering from Japanese Young Machine magazine:

That is worth getting into debt for, Can we have a repsol one please?

Hmm, image with the new half and half exhaust system. Standard big black lump low down and small under seat Akra poking out. Yeah right...

I really dislike those extensions they have to put on the back of bikes these days, apart from that it looks great!

The extensions are a legal requirement in most countries, luckily most fir an R&G (or similar) under tray which removes them.

Heh, is it really worth getting in the debt for?
Seems it is going to be an update of the current one, unlike S1000RR, which is new from ground up.

It’s usually too good to be true when it comes to Honda. They will probably give it a face lift and claim its all new

Ah the standard ‘exciting new paint scheme’ redesign from Honda.

Honda-just build a fking V4 already!.

[Birky_41]

I actually really like that and never like Honda road bikes

Still think they need a V4 in there with those looks. Would be iconic like previous V4's and the SP1 and SP2 twin back in the day

[RemyMartin81D]

Full carbon wheels?

I'll believe that when I see it.

[Kneedragger95]

That render in the OP looks incredible, but lets face it the real thing won't look a thing like that. It looks more like a homologation special more than anything else, kind of like Honda's answer to the Ducati V4R.

Not as good as the 954...

Thank goodness, because the current Fireblade is just so slow
