Looks like Winja farted on a CBR1000RR

The concept of a single sided swingarm is good to see (not that I'm biased or anything) but the style of the wheel at that angle looks ridiculous. Tail is a bit funny looking, so too is the what must be a heat guard on the pipe. Looks nicer than the original Hornet I reckon.

Talking about the hornet, I went into Motomart yesterday to see if I could test ride the CB900. Unfortunatly they didn't have one, but I found out next year is the last year Honda are bringing them into the country. This must be the replacement.

Edit: does look a lot like a Kawasaki Z750-1000

It's an impressive bit of engineering, but I think it's somewhat ugly. I'm sure it's supposed to look hunched and street fighterish, but it's a tarts handbag.

There's just nothing tying the various bits together. And who the hell really wants a single sided swing arm? It's purely a styling exercise (which I know is the whole point), but why add something to make a bike heavier? If it is supposed to be a street fighter, then strip all the poncy plastic off.

The big chunky pipes are just to pass emission tests, and I'm sure that the aftermarket boys will be rubbing their hands in glee.

oeeer I like,hornet definately starting to look dated imo.

Styling = stolen from the "Duke?
Exhaust = recovered from a gixer crash?

Not too sure about the "pursed lips" at the front, but it does look nice!

How OTT would it be to have TWO bikes in the garage to choose between??

What's OTT??? (just kidding, Id love to have that option)

Got to admit, the design is a little alien, but it quickly grows on you, doesn't it?

I'm with Boomer: love a single sided swingarm!!! And the fact that the exhaust has been "worked" into the belly fairing is really nice...

It'll be nice to check out the riding review when it comes out.

Kinda fitting all the gurls seem to like it

[Jimmy B]

I love it but I guess there are those with taste and those that ride sports bikes

[NZsarge]

The only Italian I want to ride is Monica Bellucci!
BTW, the bikes ok ......for a Honda.

Speaking of new Honda models, have you checked out the Evo6 Concept bike?

If its the new Hornet, then I don't reckon its what the Hornet is all about. Looks a little too plastic and 'dishonest'... something to do for the grad students that Honda have just hired

[Pwalo]

Spot on. They should have told them to put down the crayons and walk away.

Where's the simplicity that the Hornet always seemed to have.

I've said before design and style are a funny thing - what looks weird today becomes the norm and when you look back everything else looks so old fashioned. It applies more to cars with their full bodies than bikes.

Single sided swingarms are OK with me of course.
