This has been a rumor for the last 10 years.
There's also a rumor in the paddock is that Alvaro the Baptist is going to sign with HRC in World Superbike, under the promise that a new CBR1000RR is coming for 2020. I'll believe all of this when I see it.

Half genius, half dumazz whackjob foole
Us hardcore VFR crazys have been asking about a V4 - 1000cc sport bike for like the note above.. .at least 10 years. There was a time when if that bike showed up in the showroom, I would have been the first in line. Now, since my knees ache more than they used to, I would probably pass. (Although, never say never. )

If we’re dreaming, I’d rather see a V5.
MondialMoto announces plans for the V5 street superbike we all wished for in 2003
Scheduled for full production by 2023, the MondialMoto V5R and V5S will emulate Honda's storied RC211V, which dominated MotoGP in the early noughties. It'll be the streetbike every Valentino Rossi fan was gagging for just before he left to join Yamaha.

What the heck; go for a V-6.

Honda built and very successfully raced a V5, Laverda is the only company I know of that tried a V6, never successful, too many problems. Nice but not competitive.
