[petrolhead]

Hi, I see from some of the other MC-forums that there is talk / rumours about the new 2004 VTR, Anybody got pictures or specs???

This is the drawing I found? Look nice the new VTR 1000 S?

Yep thats the pic that was in MCN a little while back. We'll have to wait until Sep 10 to see the actual bike.

Cheers

I heard we may not see the new VTR this year, but in 05. Anyone heard anymore news, about that.

[philsmith]

yeah, i heard 2005 at the earliest, sumat to do with the current model passing euro emissions tests... that they thought it would fail

Still i suppose we will have to wait & see what develops... & keep saving

Thats what I heard too. Thing is though, knowing Honda, That bike has been built, and undergone testing before, they even found out about, it passing its emmission tests.
What I'm saying is, I think it would be silly to not, to produce a bike, that already has a niche in the market. Now the the sp2. is not being produced. Now that its already built. From my experience, when a rumor comes out of big "H", 9-10 it's gonna happen. Its very uncharacteristic of honda to allow a model, to age, as they have with the storm.

Just one thing has anybody thought about the effects on the value of your current storm .So far the values have not been bad ,but you know what will happen when a face lift model comes out .

more reason to buy a new one, trading the old one in then !!!!!!!

Essexbloke ,I think your missing the point .

Well, mine's producing around 140Db without Db-eaters.
Mainly due to it's age, the padding is gone, and won't refit em.
