Sorry folks, no V5 engine for Honda's new sportsbike

HONDA HAVE revealed to the world's motorcycle journalists that it will be launching a V4 superbike in 2010.

The bike, expected to be the next Fireblade, will feature something never seen before on a production superbike; a push-button quickshifter to enable seamless gear changes up and down the box.

Details are sketchy, but the bike is expected to resemble the concept V4 that Honda shows in their stand at the Cologne Motorcycle Show.
