Bugger the Rune, I'll have one of these:

[dangerous]

Honda EVO6 concept

Fark... yes

[kiwifruit]

looks like a real muscle bike, hot rod, i like it alot

[Wiki Drifter]

I also like this CB1100R concept.

not really into naked bikes but damn.....

[Skyryder]

Nope sorry guys..............this is a girls bike as in a cross dresser with bling. Like take a good look and use your imagination............sort of bike Julian Clary would ride. Don't mean it don't go some.............but a mans bike?? Not a chance.

I'm sure all the squids on their literbikes will be sobbing in precisely those tones the first time a flat-six Honda turns up at Meremere.

[Waylander]

It looks like the frame and suspension geometry is optimised for stability rather than sharp handling, which is a shame. One of those Honda sixes in a chuckable bike would be huge fun.

The Goldwing is a very 'chuckable' bike mate, Just because you can't do it doesn't mean it can't be done. I'm sure this bike would still be great fun to ride. Probably supposed to be Honda's answer to the B-king.

You know what's cool? They're bringing back the little round black Honda logo, like they used on the Benleys. Very pretty, IMHO. When it comes time to repaint my tank, I might get one of those instead.

That CB1000/4 or whatever it's called is simply gorgeous. The CB400/4 is in my opinion one of the most beautiful bikes ever made. Everything perfectly in proportion, from the beautifully plain tank to the rear tip of the seat. And of course, those waterfall eye-following headers. Here's one for comparison:

I see the Rocketeer.

I was thinking Cybermen. If you have gold fillings you're outa luck

[HenryDorsetCase]

I pulled that photo off the kneeslider and emailed it to my Honda dealer on Friday.... in the email all I said was "Let me know when I can give you a deposit on one of these".

A lot of the criticism has focussed on the twin shocks but I like them a lot....



I also like the 400F inspired one, but I already own two original 400F's (one is for sale......... ) so I will hang on to that. they are a great little bike.

A lot of us do mate. Simplistic twin shock UJM design is all good. Makes it easier to "tinker" with too. That and centre stand as standard fitment and not a $800 add on.

[Steam]

The CB400/4 is in my opinion one of the most beautiful bikes ever made....

A guy I know was riding one of them... gorgeous. I said to him "Wow that's nice, I thought you'd be riding some tasteless piece of cloned crappy plastic sportsbike. You're that kind of guy."

He got quite annoyed and said he was just borrowing the CB for the day and he actually did own a cloned crappy plastic sportsbike

Why the comparison to the Rune?

Hmm... They are both bloated and unnecessarily vulgar?

[Bonez]

Funny thing is, I can see you owning something similar in your golden years

You can't ride around physics dude.

A bike with a long wheelbase and lazy fork rake will simply not go around corners as well as one with shorter and sharper geometry.

Certainly one can apply more violent control and balance inputs to haul the saggy arse of a tourer or cruzier around corners in an effort to keep up with motorcycles that were designed to proceed quickly along twisty roads, but that doesn't mean that those machines are the most appropriate for the purpose.

No no, he has ridden the 'magical' one, where flying pixies rub their magic dust into the tyres and all is good in the world as the Goldwing fair dances it's way down the road
