    Some bikes aren't meant to look pretty,and still look good even when they're not.

    There is likely to be more than one model - hopefully, they won't look like that MCN photoshop job.
    We'll know in six (6!) days when the bike is officially launched.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Yes, the CB is going to be a nice base for a project. Is that the approach Honda has taken? A simple bike with loads of potential for modification?

    Possibly attempting to increase the sales in paper bags? The rider would require one of them to put over his head whenever seen in the vicinity of the bike.

    Nice.
    Pity they rushed it though - looks like the poor mechanic ran out of time and put the rear shocks around the wrong way

    I like the first pic of the CB1100 and I'd be happy with that. Very happy. Bet it costs $30k+ though.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

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

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

    Smile It's nearly here! (sort of...)

    "We are very pleased to tell you that the new VFR 1200F
    will be launched online on Thursday 8th October at
    12.00 CET (11.00am GMT).

    On the website will be films, downloads, full technical specs, interviews, animations of new technologies,
    360° of all three colours and much much more!

    Make sure you are in front of your computer next
    Thursday to be the first to see the new VFR!"


    Hmmmmm... so that's like, 12 midnight, tonight?
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Sorry! I'm not sure (was nearly excited, which nearly aroused me from my semi-comatose state...)
    I'm pretty sure it'll at least be on this site.

    Judging from the silhouette that flashes up just often enough to spark a petit mal seizure, I'd say it looks like a fat whale with a cancerous dowager's hump.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
