Not the point - In the fullness of time - I would rather have spent the last of the budget on an exhaust system.
One hell of a ride.

Ok so I saw the VFR at Paeroa. Cant get over the looks. As someone else said, tail looks tidy, but forward of that *bleagh*.

Dude - you own a BMW GS - you have voided your right to an opinion on aesthetics.

It's a thing of beauty dammit! (GS).
Dont forget the 690... Heh.
But seriously, not a fan of the direction Honda is heading on looks. Same goes with the new blade - looks like it has been smacked in the nose.
One hell of a ride.
See - New blade, in white, is the nicest looking jap bike since the JPS '06 R1.

Weird thing for me and I find the same with cars, many a new model comes out and you think gee that looks awful. Give it a year or two and it looks normal, then the next change occurs and yeah gawd look at that.
Style kind of is in the eye of the beholder and in what is the norm or so it seems to me. So partly it is something to do with what you are used to.
Same goes for how things feel. Get on something different and feel how awful it is. Use if for a while, then everything else becomes weird. Human's are funny like that, having feelings and stuff.
Edsels and Studebakers are collectors items now!

The alternative is what the Italians are (or aren't depending on your perspective) doing... the 1098, looks like a cheap knock off of 916... the new MV F4, a yawn inducing rehash of a bike that was all weird styling anyway (but the fixtures lift it up high). Now having said that, I consider that to be a bit of a rough patch, the new RSV4 whilst a bit RSV looking in some ways, is still one hell of a looker. I'm glad that the Japanese (admittedly only really Honda) are still pushing forward and aren't afraid to try new things. In fairness though, a bad model would make a much larger dent on revenues to an Italian manufacturer than it would do to Honda, so perhaps being a bit staid is a reality in keeping the company afloat.

I'd be the first to tell ya the new VFR looks like shit in photo's but I gotta say in the flesh I could live with it, apart from the fact it's a Honda...
Don't like the new Nissan GTR in photo's but in the flesh it's pretty awesome, same goes for the New Yamaha R1. Plenty of vehicles out that don't translate well in magazines but look much better in the flesh.

Boat, 4x4 to tow it and a new bike in the last 9 months. I don't worry about spending money, I worry about Mrs B cutting my throat while I'm asleep ;-).

Maybe you can tell me what the hell those pointed fangs at the front of the BMW GS's are for.
