I reckon that, at $4.5 million US bucks, Honda will paint it whatever you want.
Scheduled to clear US FAA next year, already in service elsewhere.


Nice way to travel with a Honda twin.....

Some of those mid-70's colors/stripes were truly disgusting, that green was bad.........
So was the banana yellow on early Wings.

I'll be using your carb tuning guide to tune Brownie's carbs bill.

Do you have a ignition/timing guide?

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Sorry, as much as I love a Necked Wing, that yellow is just plain silly.
