went to the motorcycle show here in Chicago and saw this at the Honda display.  What do you think about it?

I hope that Honda sells millions of them because, in my not so humble opinion, we need more bikes that don't define their riders. Less plastic is good, too.

like it.  there is another thread here where guys are getting antsy and photoshopping parts on the bike ;D

I just wish it came in another color besides red, not that it doesn't look good but blue, green, sunrise or something 8)

+1 I wanted to see it at the January TO show & Honda told me they shipped it to Calgary for a show there.  I said WTF? You're bypassing the biggest city in thye country?  Guess that is why there are no Honda dealers in Toronto.

I really like it. Only other bike that's in the same market is the Bonneville and two more cylinders is always better. I'm hoping the local dealership gets one because I would love to see one up close.

Krejci scored the Bruins first goal in the third period tonight, mounting an unbelievable comeback from a 3-0 deficit but then he kind of forgot to shoot the puck in the overtime shoot-out and the Rangers won. Great game though.

Yes, the pictures of the bikes has been available for a while. I really like the bike, will try it when comes in the shops. Different colours might turn up if the bikes sells well?
Expensive? 10K? I guess this bike will be priced at around $30K in Norway. You lucky guys...

Take an early 80's DOHC, paint engine, mild seat and tank work, paint it any color you want, $2000 invested.  Now you have a nice Honda motorcycle and $8000 left over.  It is sharp, but so is a nicely redone one.  just sayin.

I like the way you think RIGID.  Your way I can personalize the bike to my taste and not have to accept that of a focus group.   I have a real problem tying up 10k on a 2 wheeler that will be ridden maybe a thousand miles a year. Just MHO.

If I had one I know it would get ridden more than 1000miles a year, I'd be finding any excuse to be on it.

i guess i see the point of that... it all depends what your willing to spend... better than 20k for a trailer queen
