    Honda CB1100 at 2010 Tokyo Show

    Finally, confirmed as a reality. Rather nice, wouldn't you say !!
    Hints of GB400/500 in the styling, IMO.

    Not sure about the front headlamp cowl. Looks a bit 'Givi' to me.

    IMO: That will take the GSX1400 market when they stop selling it (quite soon).

    I was thinking the cowl looked a little Mk1 LeMans to me.

    Looks like someone at Honda still has a hankering for the horrible 'Comstar' wheels, which this bikes wheels are very reminiscent of.

    You didn't post a pic of some of the other bikes to be featured at the show, like this version of the CB1100:




    Or the VFR1200F (this one of the 'ST" version may be a horrible mockup - PLEASE let it be a fake!):
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Hmm, I wonder if they've gone to 17inch wheels or stuck with 18's. Also is that ABS on the rear or maybe a speedo pickup?

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    On the CB? It's not ABS - there's no ABS rotor on the front.
    The VFR will have the E-DCBS+ABS system.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.

    Fuck me, that is horrible.
    Truly horrible.

    The only glimmer of hope, is that they appear to have toned down the uglyness of the exhaust.

    The GWC (Giant Whale Cock)?

    Don't worry - as I said, the picture is of the ST model (or perhaps only yet another MCN mockup) and in any case, the reputed price for the new VFR1200 is around US$20k, so they'll just become window-dressing in the dealer's showrooms.

    Yup, the GWC...

    All of that technology will not be cheap. I guess other brands of bike will do well if owners cannot afford the new toy.

    I quite like it. I also like the wheels.

    It looks a lot 'lighter' and more nimble than the fat Suzuki.

    Will it sell well? - depends on the price in NZ.
