That's the one,was a couple of tents away from me and the old TL,it was in......well whatever colour it was it was kind of similar the the TLs weird frogs not green though different and it was amusing to overhear passersbys comments on the similarities,great looking bike and believe me from me that's saying something as i am not at all a fan of new bikes looks,fwiw i would hang out for as long as it takes for the One before buying a Trumpet of similar style,there everywhere and to be honest there,well there everywhere and almost as cool as postie plus fashion

Recently read a test on one Fwiw and it was well received,the Honda i mean

Yep,thats the one.If me i would hang out and ride one as if it rides as good as it looks in real life then the Trumpet wouldnt even be mentioned in the same sentence.

Imho.Besides that i find it amusing when meeting up with new Trumpet riders who have somehow convinced themselves that riding one has filled there soul/spirit akin to what meant anything to the old Trumpet riders,sadly not but hey if there happy i guess thats what matters,bit like faking an orgasm to me.

With all due respect (i.e. none); rubbish. Blue Wing have advertised it as available to see if they could score free money from advance orders. They don't seem to understand that it's JAFH, not an MV Agusta.

I'd love to have a crack at one too, but I think I'll end up going elsewhere, just because I'd probably have a better chance of getting an XR1200 before the Predator.

Blue Wing seem to have no fucking idea about customer service. This issue is no surprise at all: a company that doesn't stock common parts for the bikes they sell is hardly likely to anything else of service to customers or potential customers.

$7k/a foot massage/voucher for two haircuts (sorry I wont use them) and $100 shopping spree at Bunnings?

Saw the Cb1000 on Primes SpeedMachine on Sunday..........I'm surprised to say I really liked it.........would have to put a stubbie exhaust on though.

It is a real pity that Bluewing think that people need them, its the Honda name that sells, would be nice if Bluewing realised that customer service quite often means more to a buyer than what he/she is buying.

thats surprisingly close!

IF the useless faggots ever get ANY bikes here, they will be in a range of colours that are NOTm in any way, representative of what the rest of the world can obtain!

FFS you useless cunts at HONDA NZ! GET US A FUCKING CHOICE OF COLOURS!!!

Get the Speed Trip, way more kudos and if you ever want a bit more go (tho probably not) you can add some Daytona internals ....

Don't worry, more than I expected.

I'd had a couple of beers and was trying to not be tooooooo negative. My suspicions are similar to yours
