!@#%# Sheesh... Initial thought (ONLY because I like the Italian Red) of the Wine Color was NO.. but, the more I look,the more I like... hmmm.... idea3.gif
Just my opinion... Wine makes the bike too elegant and too heavy. The Retro style is nice but seems too retro for this kind of bike (makes me tired easy)....could be very cool on a 750 instead. Both seems home-made paint...a professional designer touch is missed here. I hope in 2008 sad.gif
I do like the retro graphics. Not sure if I would purchase it but still a very cool look. As for for the wine color... I agree with paperino. It does make the bike elegant and heavy...but then I kind of like that. That is one of the great things about the VFR, looks can be very deceptive.
Being the VFRD Idiot... I dig the wine color smile.gif The RWB is nice too, but not for me. Maybe I'll trade later next year. At the rate I'm racking up miles on my 06, it may become a necessity.
I'm not crazy about the retro paint scheme on the 6th gen bike...on the other hand I really like the new red, it looks classy. I have actually been contemplaiting re-painting my bike that exact color for some time...my other two vehicles are that same color ('00 Tundra and '06 Acura TL), then they could all match! fing02.gif
I like em both, but when the hell are they going to upgrade the bike and do something new with the motor, suspension etc... ? This bike has been unchanged for the last 6 years except for the vtec engagement point and color scheme. Woopdy frickin' doo!
I like them both, the RWB is a cool retro look and the wine color has a bit of class to it. One looks racey, the other toury (yes that is a word). biggrin.gif
[font=Courier New]I like the RWB but not the Wine color. I may be biased due to owning a 1983 CX650TC which had RWB paint scheme. It also had polished/chromed/silver(???) Comstar wheels so a set of polished rims on the new bike would set it off. Maybe a set of white rims, check my pics.[font=Courier New]
The wine color belongs on a Goldwing or some other big limo touring bike. It makes the VFR look like "Rich Corinthian leather". They should have Ricardo Montalban do a commercial for it!!
I don't even like the burgandy on the ST1300. Too old school. Reminds me of the burgardy interiors that GM had during the 70's and 80's.
The people at Honda must have their heads up their butt.
Anything with a yellow or gold "honda wing" on the tank is super sexy.... goofy.gif
I like the retro.
Cant help it, child of the 70s..... grew up on red honda dirt bikes with gold-yellow emblems on the tanks.... remember the cool red cylinders on the CRs of the era...?.

I really like the new retro look. Add white wheels (8 spoker in the back?), a red front fender and you have the most tempting reason yet to buy a sixth gen, IMO.
The Wine is nice too, a bit more polished and sophisticated looking - I'm sure it'll look even nicer in the sun. Regardless, I'm just glad to see Honda bringing some more colours to the US....(nothing wrong with RED - it's quick and all - but you guys are everywhere wink.gif )
Love the Retro! "These colors don't run". Well, actually they run real dang fast! Love it, and may have to actually BUY one (instead of being, ahem, between bikes).
