Gone for a retro look with the exhaust going all to one side – nice. But then it doubles back to the other side, what’s that about

Yea not a bad looking bike – but at the end of the day it’s still a Honda
You can dress a mule up in a tuxedo – and you still have a mule

The rear wheel looks a bit out there VFR style

As an FZ1 BIGOT I would not mind having this model of Honda in my garage. Really is a mix of naked styles from all the other manufacturers and tastefully melded together (can't believe I have just said this about a Rhonda).

Better still it is a Euro model.

Collector box and cat under the left hand side, would like nice with a luverly Akra taking that out of the loop though, and a bike mag here in the UK showed that a CBR600RR was more fuel efficient and cleaner burning with a PCIII and an Akra pipe than stock so stick that up your arses LTNZ when you try ban aftermarket pipes.

Here's what they're all looking at - I like the Benelli TNT 899 better.

You only like it because it's vaguely frog-snot-green like the TL :lol:

Strange looking bike. Headlight/fairing looks very aftermarket.

There's also the more "traditional" CB1300S as well:

That's right it is cleaner burning - except for carcinogenic particulates which will be right off the scale. It's not just gases they measure, and the agenda behind emissions laws isn't about cleaning up the atmosphere.

I get the feeling that the CB1300's days are numbered, given the couple of twin-shock retros Honda are pimping around the bike shows.

That CB1000R thing is hideous. If I was Cagiva I'd be asking for my design cues back, and if I was Soichira Honda I'd be coming back from the dead and ranting along the lines of: "Yes we made a lovely, simple, 4 cylinder 400 in the 70s. Let it go already!"

Must say I love the aggressive look of this bike, got to be one of the few production street fighter bikes I've seen that looks like a custom job.
