Now it all starts to make sense, Honda has a plan, a vision of things to come.
The upcoming ‘Crossover’, and new concept bike due to appear at the Milan show, which may be a new Pan European in the style of the distinctive VFR1200F, are apparently just the beginning.
Honda is applying the VFR look to a lot of its range starting with two new bikes to entice the new riders thinking of taking to two wheels.
Many bikes are availble in different markets around the world and the image below is of the CBR150R from the Asian market, which is rumored to be finding its way to Europe in 2011.
You can see it’s been ‘VFRed’ and a 25cc engine size drop will make it road legal for learners. Supposedly following on from that, and catering to a market that was all but crushed a few years back a 250cc version will be appearing as well. The only image of it seems to be from a magazine and was found by CMG Online (well spotted)
This bike would give a natural stepping stone for new riders restricted to 33bhp for two years, and will compete head on with Kawasaki’s Ninja 250.
So just as we all wondered what Honda is up to with sudden announcements and curious bike concepts, it seems it’s all part of the plan.
