Shit, no $1 reserve on that one.

Suspect the R will be more expensive but not by much.

Edit:27,500. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-557880872.htm

Edit 2: lol, have a look at the "Extensive Standard Equipment" list just below the TPMS, it lists that it has a 990 !

Shoot down to payless plastics and buy couple of chilly bins and you too can have the look on your 600 for a fraction of the price

Stick with ya 600 - still be going when the 30k 2 million parts austrian kicks the bucket

When ya hold the record still today for the most powerful naturally aspirated engine and won 10 out of the 20 F1 championships
entered - would have thought Honda would be the one charging the premium

All of you boys with one on order are about to be VERY pleased. I've just ridden the T model in mixed conditions and the thing I can't get over is how bloody fast it is. Not "Fast for an Adventure tourer" or "Fast for a V-Twin" just fucking Fast full stop. In sport mode with the MTC turned on, it'll roost a GSXR1000 to 160 fast. Switch the MTC off and you better have your shit together because My God does it wheelie. I'll do a bit of a review after dinner and post a link.

I'm totally smitten.

they could charge a premium but when they master a bike the pricks stop making them
