Don't know which dealer pritch was referring too... but I guess it is in New Plymouth.
City Honda in Palmerston North are having a release evening too.... I got an invite, and RSVP was Monday.
For those in the area, you could ring Michelle at City Honda to see if it's not too late to book in..... Might be though, as there is nibbles
Saturday is test ride day too....

Na, I will pass for now. Think I'm a bit busy Saturday to come in...
Just want to check them out.
See you Friday evening
Along for the ride...
cycle spot North Shore have one- I had a look at tit last night - it feels tiny for a 1200!! Very low and compact- but comfortable.
I heard the engine note (only at idle) - but it sounded strange- I thougt it would be deeper and more like V-twin. It actually sounds like a car engine? maybe it sounds better at higher revs...

Fuck that shit. Everyone knows sound is the most important consideration when buying a motorcycle. If they can't get that right what hope is there for this pos?
Mind you, it's a Honda so shit sound probably appeal to their buyers.

I had a quick look at both a red & a silver one today and have to say I've changed my mind about the looks. It is much better in the flesh although the muffler is disgusting (worse than the cannon on my Connie). The paint and finish looked superb. Also, quite a bit smaller than I thought - should be very chuckable. Single sided swing-arm with shaft drive is very neat. Headlight not as bad looking as I had feared and the seat looked ok. Prefer the silver to the red.
Price is still not listed but you'd have to say it won't be cheap and then you still have to add luggage to make it tour. Not sure if I'm gonna go to the launch or test-ride yet - I still believe that my Connie would be a better tourer (esp if you were 2-up) and I'm not ready to trade her yet...

Yikes, I think the idea was to double the exhaust as a mortar launcher in case of invasion.
Seriously in need of a tail tidy.
Front end not too bad. Pics never seem to do bikes justice.
Wearing Hi-Viz Black.
Have now swung a leg over one.
Seating position is very nice, quite similar to the 800 really.
Very narrow at the crotch and the back end is lubberly.
The fueltank, although small capacity, takes a bit of space.
The front end... Yes, it is still fuc*ing horrible. Hopefully Mr Honda has heard of a "makeover".
Will be attempting to prise a test ride from a dealer, somewhere. It has got to ride better than it looks... (Getting a test ride from a honda dealer is like trying to get the labour party to assist businesses...)
I see this as the start of a long line of bikes that will evolve and improve as time goes by.

Wait till Big Dave gets a hold of it. He definitely has a better eye than most of the motoring photographers, and has made a number of 'ugly' bikes more palatable.

You mean I'll have to finish school one day? Fuck that shit, I hear the pay is not so good on the dole. Know any good doctors they say sickness benefit is where it's at.So, have you decided what you're going to do when you finish school?
You can relax though, I can bleed mum and dad for a few more years yet, but be sure you keep busy coz I need a lot of looking after ok.
