Take a look at the 2nd and 3rd pictures in.

 

OOF!!! THAT IS SWEET!!!

Let me save others the trouble.....

CONCEPT VTR

 

I think this was first displayed at the Laguna Seca track a couple (?) of years ago. Does the motor look familiar?

 

its called NAS New American Sport. it came out a couple years ago. but they still aren't making it. I love this bike as well. I wish they would hurry up and produce it cause I won't even be able to afford it until its a couple years old.

 

Yeah old news - they were just teasing us

Btw what's up with the 2006 Superhawk? Anybody have the scoop?

I keep checking the Honda media website and nothing is showing.

Is this the end of the SH? or are they just taking a break for a year to clear out old inventory?

Maybe they are going to give us a new SH

Two New Hondas For Europe Only?
By Dirck Edge


Rumored to appear in Europe this Fall are two new Hondas, including a fuel-injected VTR1000 (a Super Hawk successor?) manufactured at the same plant that produces the Varadero, as well as a fuel injected CB500 naked parallel twin.

The 500 twin is almost certainly for Europe, only, while the 1000cc v-twin might possibly make it to the United States as a 2004 model.

While the VTR1000 would use a development of the motor first found in the Super Hawk, Motorcycle News of England is also reporting that Honda is developing a naked twin using the RC51 engine. MCN states this high performance naked may show up as a 2005 model.

Stay tuned to MD for additional rumors on 2004 models.

 

I think it woulkd have trouble making it as a 04 or 05 model. . .
