Looks like a Transformer. Does it also turn into something else, less ugly?

You did it to the VFR too.

I hate you Honda.

Seems like all manufacturers have done this.

I like the black frame on the 2012.

I think it looks the same...but I like it. Hopefully, the suspension/chassis is better and has more power.

Interesting about the ABS. I wonder how well they'll work.

I like the old Repsol but am I the only one who wishes they'd come out with a new Smoking Joes Edition?

Dig the black frame!

03 was the 954.

Anyway, I finally got to try one of these yesterday. I really liked it besides the fact that it nearly melted my right toe slider. Honda really needs to direct the engine heat somewhere else

I also tried the CB1000R (Awesome) and then got my girlfriend on back for a cruise on a GL1800 GoldWing. Riding a couch at 100MPH is pretty fun.
