Honda didn’t show up at last year’s EICMA show in Italy, citing the world economic crisis.  This year is going to be quite the reverse.  Honda has announced that it will not only be returning to EICMA, but it will be debuting eight motorcycle models at the show as well.

There’s no official word on the bikes that will be unveiled, but one of the most likely candidates will be the new VFR1200 model that is slated to replace the ST1300, which has long been Honda’s flagship sport-tourer.  The new model of the VFR will probably include both the dual-clutch transmission, and the cylinder management system that has been touted by Honda for the last year.
