ummm we will see. if u dont want to look at the add here is what it said

If there is one bike that has been neglected for years in Hondas line up it is the VTR1000F Firestorm. Honda has been reluctant to develop its V-twin engine in the past but now they have to due to Euro 3. We know that a new XL1000V (or 1200…) Varadero is coming this autumn with a more powerful version of the VTR1000F engine. Perhaps with so many changes that it in effect is a new engine. At the same it is expected that the Firestorm will get its first major update and fresh design since 1996! Firestorm was launched as the first Japanese sports twin to rival the now iconic Ducati 916. We do not know whether Honda has opted for a large bore engine yet, but strategically it would have made sense if the new Firestorm became a 1200 to make it stand more out in a range that might contain two in-line four half faired 1000s next year (CBF1000 and CB1000F Hornet). Our artists impression shows a very sporty Firestorm with parts taken from the firms CBR1000RR Fireblade. With a new grunty 1200cc V-twin the bike needs a new chassis that will have been developed only for this bike. TS/CG: Xavier Gordillo & Luc1

 

the pic looks Photoshop the rear shock looks bad .

 

I think this was mentioned before in a previous thread, but i can't remember. It does look pretty sweet though, doesn't it? Hopefully they make it.

 

Yeah, that's a couple of years old and just a photochop job at that. In fact, they used the exact same template on the current VFR; talk about lazy. sheeesh

 

superhawk is done.

end of story.

 

Looks pretty cool... but I suspect Honda would at least upgrade to the RC51 engine on any update... or come up with a clean sheet engine design.

 

It's a cool looking bike, but I sure hope its not the new SuperHawk. I like the SuperHawk simply bacause it has its own look and feel. This bike looks like a cbr1000 to me.

 

Heh, "Raptors & Rockets" defines photochopped BS. That site has more crap on it than manure.com.

(I sure as hell would like to see a new 1200 cc Super Hawk, though!)
