Honda VFR 800 with Scorpion Exhaust - Jackson, California
Scorpion Exhaust: Clean canisters fit the VFR 800 reasonably well.
I shot these photos in downtown Jackson, California a few months back. The VFR 800 was parked near a shop I was visiting, the tasty Scorpion exhaust system caught my eye.
So, I whipped out my camera, and shot a few close-ups just to test the camera and practice close-up photography. I hope you like the results.
Later, I heard the VFR start up, as the owner was preparing to leave - the Scorpions sounded very nice indeed.

RPM Racing Drag Bikes: Super-sharp looking H-D drag bike - lean, mean, and clean.
An impressive collection of racers - every one of them looked like they'd be a blast to ride down the strip.
Sorry for the late post, these were lost and recently recovered.

2008 Honda VFR details revealed in a patent document?
Details of Honda’s 2008 VFR1000 have been revealed in a newly published motorcycle patent document – which shows the motorcycle to have a radical new frame design.
The Honda V-four sports tourer motorcycle, which gets a capacity boost to 1000cc for next year with an all-new engine, features a two-piece chassis, with separate front and rear sections. The engine itself provides the majority of the motorcycle's frame strength.

There is still some hope for a V-Five VFR variant, apparently :
The patent also reveals that Honda hasn’t yet ditched the idea of a V-five engine, as one picture shows the same frame design with a five-cylinder motor bolted in place of the V-four.
