Oh, you mean...?

Hmm?

Ah...

Nvm....

Well, never forget this young man; your motorcycle is running a Honda carb! Starts off all manly and Suzuki -- then when you hit the starter, it's spraying tainted ghey Honda fuel mix all around the insides of the engine :D

[EJK]

Thats actually (logically true) funny!

[Blackshear]

It looks like a scorpion, poised to strike with its ass-end!
And that any amount of deceleration or braking force would make you slide off it frontways...

It's a Honda...

P.S. Why is Honda gay? I still don't get the joke...

its because of 2 generalisations.

the first is that honda is the perfect bike, they're comfy, fast, look good, have good reliability, parts are expensive but they're pretty readily available and what's the price for perfection? the problem with this is that many consider them to lack character (even though I've seen a few 250s with plenty of character, this is a generalisation so that goes out the window) this is actually desirable, you become attached to a bike with character, attachment to a bike makes it harder to let go of, so we conclude that the honda is the perfect motorcycle.

the next generalisation is that homosexuals are perfect, perfect hair, teeth, dress sense, so on and so forth, so homosexuals are perfect (too perfect, you get my point)

so the gay needs a bike, what's the perfect bike for the perfect gay? honda.

to be honest though the whole thing is tongue and cheek, no one really thinks honda riders are gay (don't tell them that) its a big wide up.

BMWs may have better reliability but this is addressed in another article titled: Why BMW riders are wankers

[EJK]

But that bike doesn't look perfect!

[Dave-]

But that bike doesn't look perfect!

hondas are generally good looking, that bike is a concept and obviously doesnt tend to everyones taste, this is why its a concept and not a real bike.

do you know much about the design process? i know when im doing design for characters, down hill racers, bus stops, etc etc i'll look at literally thousands of images that are similar to what im doing, take aspects i like from each, mash them together and see what works, in doing so you from time to time come up with something totally new, and mostly thinking outside of the sqaure, which leads to all sorts of paradoxes as to where the square is, and if forced thinking outside of it is really outside of it, and maybe perhaps thinking in the square is so rarely seen these days that thinking inside the square is more outside of it than most people realise (people have gone insane thinking about this stuff)

by the end i might have 50-100 different concepts, most just outlines, some drawn on handkerchiefs, my arm, or various scraps of paper when an idea hits me.

from that 50-100 you whittle it down to 10-20, and keep refining until you get what you want, then you go on to development of the idea, maybe a mock up, then go back to development to alter what you found in 3d (if you really fuck up then go all the way back to concept, also known as back to the drawing board)

the honda posted above could easily be first stage concept given that honda no doubt come up with several thousand concepts (as opposed to my 100) which they'll render to that standard just for run (remember how much these people spend on R&D)

post way bigger than i anticipated.

[EJK]

That was a good fun lecture. Thanks :)

[_intense_]

yeah its bs, look closer you see a fat twin (vtrthou based concept bike) not even a 250 or inline. And dont be fooled by people with real cbr250s with a new "TYGA" or similar body kit either.. ;D

[avgas]

Errr - the honda concept is old and was never made.
Unless you pray to the right gods (http://www.lazareth.fr/)
But no 2008 CBR250 never happend
