the cost of making a honda compeditive on a race track is rediculass compared to the other brands and is in no way at all a comparision to their road going bikes!!!

Along with a revamped CB600F Hornet, Honda is expected to dump the old CBR engine in the CB900F and bring out a heftier version of the CBF1000 engine for a brand new CB1000F Hornet. Styling will be more adventurous than the CBF hopefully. A CBF1000 engine means the latest generation Fireblade genes, but with much more than 100bhp this time. To bring it up to the level of the competition from Yamaha FZ1 and Kawasaki Z1000 it needs more than 130bhp. Our best guesses is a max power output of around the 140bhp mark. We also believe that the bike will get a very similar chassis to the CBR1000RR to really make an impact on the big nakeds market. Honda has got the CBF1000 for the sensible types so no problem to make the big Hornet both powerful and sporty.

They have all got a long way to go to be as good as a Speed Triple

Him and Xaus have something in common though, always the 'nearly man' on the field. A shame for Slight, he was good enough, but it never worked out for him

Now that is what Honda should be looking at for inspiration these days on how to build something people are interested in....
