    It's not April 1st, is it?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    That bike is possible James. I saw a photo of that this morning, I didn't recognise it and wondered what it was. Now I know? That bike looks to have a similar swing arm to the new CB650F which would make sense.

    I wonder if the 800 is made in Thailand like the 650?

    The 650 price undercuts the competition in Britain and the bike comes more completely equipped. Bluewing couldn't manage pricing like that without fucking it up totally.

    That's got a single-sided swingarm and looks like the headers are the same layout as the 650 with a CB1000R headlight. I reckon it's a bunch of photoshopped wishlist items. I would expect the production item to have a Hornet 650 swingarm and VFR800 (new) forks.

    But I agree 100% about Bluewing. That would be a $23,999 bike that will sell 0 units inititally and then get progressively cheaper until it bottoms out at $12,999 at which time only old people like me will buy it because it is no longer the latest and greatest, screwing up the demographics and making Blue Wing proclaim it a "sales failure".

    If we're talking wishlist.. A VF800R would be great.. Take the V4 from the VFR800 and make it into a good looking, nice handling naked akin to a Honda baby version of the Tuono

    Honda are too busy making reVulting scooters for comic book addicts to make anything as cool as a naked VFR800.

    Photoshop I reckon.

    It's a rehash of the CB1R.

    Reckon if they want to move some naked units they should slightly refresh the CB1000R so it is a bit edgy looking and slot in the full bore arse kicking 1000RR engine. Point a big single figure at Triumph, Aprilia and BMW. Go on Honda, stop taking the safe route.

    As a side note I had a showroom sit on a MV Dragster and Rivale. I'm pretty sure I left a stain in the showroom. I went out and purchased a Lotto ticket but alas the gods were not favouring me last Saturday.
