OMG!
I hope that's a bad photo shop idea.
I was really looking forward to seeing the new bike and when the first pictures were released I was quite dissapointed. My first thoughts were 'Oh!, that's ugly'.
If it comes out with that paint job as well :eek2 :eek2 :eek2

UNICAM = SOHC :eek2

Doesn't appear to be much room to access cam chain tensioners because of frame, so hopefully they've got them sorted...

Some angles it looks okay, then in some it looks like an ungainly lump of designer lard. If I'd won the 45 milliooooon squid it would struggle to be on my shopping list.
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

It's a shame none of you like it, because I've just been speaking to Honda's marketing people.

They noticed that my Storm's off the road due to DIESEL!!!!! and mentioned that they were looking for some ordinary motorcyclists to put the new bike through a regular few months of riding to be sure that it's reliable.

It seemed churlish to refuse, so I accepted the offer, and will be able to pick it up on Tuesday.







Then the bedside alarm went off..........


I'd have probably hated it anyway.
Too quick, I'd have only been frightened, left it on the drive and took the car instead.
Well, once I was up to 9 points, anyway....
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
