461 lbs wet weight (that's 209kg in english) - like.
Inline four - like (thank god it's not a parallel twin).
Digital tach - ugh.
Looks - quite like it based on what I can see so far. Looks like a piece of origami. Not as cool as some bikes, but decent looks out of the current 'super techy' look that bikes have these days.

Power is (Edit - 87hp)
Wonder if honda will bring it here - and price it competitively? Can but hope.

It should come here, I imagine it's the replacement for the CB600F... but priced competitively?

The CB600F was also a nice bike, but at least it had cheaper rego. I do have to wonder whether it puts people off, buying a 650 and paying "big bike" rego? I solved that simply by riding a 1200...

I dunno - it's 'only' an extra $120/year. If you can figure that vs other costs, the purchase cost of the bike etc, it might work out.

as i said in the other topic, it's the 4c honda version of kawasaki er6f.
they had a good starting point with the old 600, why had they trashed it?...
bah.
not so convinced.
