From the revealed images it is clear that the V4 model will get a new design. The exhaust layout of the motorcycle is different from other Honda models. Now the routing of the exhaust pipe is from the rear cylinder of the engine and joins with a side mounted canister, just the like Yamaha YZF-R1.

Honda's V4 offering will sport only a single seat and the rear cowl has opening to create a boundary of air around the motorcycle to provide better cornering ability and improved aerodynamics. At the rear, there are also small wings, which will provide even more downforce.
