But...but...they're both Hondahs

[Big Dave]

My choice was a BMW. :-P

[Morcs]

Thats why everyone calls them gay. they are jealous because there kawasakis build quality is poo, theres suzuki crashes, and there yamaha is overpriced.

[Big Dave]

Not everyone pal. just a few in here.

[Elysium]

All the predator is missing is the laser sighted plasma cannon to destroy the competition :laugh:

And their grammar checker is fucked.

i-Boty

tee hee, etc.


You'd want it to be bike of the year for 20 large. I'd want a free colonoscopy every time I sat on it.

[Big Dave]

I don't believe I have seen 'want' and 'colonoscopy' used together before.

[98tls]

There's one sitting in the local honda shops window looking annoyingly good.

[Elysium]

The Predator is an awsome looking bike, shame it lacks any touring ability like the CB900s.

[TOTO]

The Predator is an awsome looking bike, shame it lacks any touring ability like the CB900s.

why is that ?

[Big Dave]

why is that ?

ditto - x two even?

[98tls]

The Predator is an awesome looking bike, shame it lacks any touring ability like the CB900s. How can a bike lack touring ability?if it can be ridden to the local dairy it can be ridden to the other end of the country.I cant imagine it would be particularly uncomfortable and there's luggage available to suit any bike these days.

[Elysium]

why is that ?

Well if you were only allowed one bike as your main transport, it does pay to get one that can commute as well as some long distance travel. That's why I got the CB900 as it can do both, though a little fairing, screen and packs racks to help with the touring side.

Got a link for this ino Dave?

[yod]

I don't believe I have seen 'want' and 'colonoscopy' used together before.

Well, quite.

err

anyway

Did you ever try the new CB600 Hornet? If so, how did it compare to the Predator and what was it like in general?

I spotted one at City Honda this week and it got me thinking <insert smart arse remark here>

[Big Dave]

Not ridden the 600. I'm too big for them usually so Campbell and the Ed did the full test - in this month's KR

I'd did some big day rides on the 1000R.
Stick a ventura system on it and good to go. I don't like screens.

Also missed the incorrect use of a comma preceding the word "and".

No I was referring to Hitcher's response to Morcs' post.

You must have a guilty conscience

Nope......I hope not.

[Hitcher]

What's with the urine bottles and why aren't they the same size?

[Del Fuego]

just picked up the predator and the hornet this morning, riding the 600 at the moment... so far, so good. Surprising amount of room considering my 6'3 frame, reasonable power and whatnot but review will be up in a week or two

[AllanB]

I had a colonoscopy a few years back. The Doc even gave me a set of COLOUR photos so I can see what it looks like 1.8 metres up my bum:wacko:

It was not what I expected, as I was pretty sure the sun was up there :whistle:

If you like I can find them, scan them and post pictures.


Back on topic - GO THE HONDA
