What exactly in the name of Zuess' bollocks is Honda up to?

Hey I like that!!!!! Needs a SSA and what about the cam!!! B) Looks alot like a busa in the front, huh??
#3
Yup, the front end looks like a Busa while the rear looks like a ZX-14. Since I think both of these bikes are ugly, you can draw your own conclusion as to what I think.
#4
It looks like just as it looked before...

Don't hold your breath.

They have some exciting lawn mowers, string trimmers, and side by side ATVs though!

ugh. that bike is ugly. The back end looks like 1985 (im not into older look, I can respect those that are tho) and the front end looks like a droopy headlight (I think 'busas are ugly too). Im much more into the R1/CBR/Ninja look. Make it modern! Do something different!

Gosh there are so many stagnant companies right now. You wonder if they just laid off all their engineers and designers in favor of more catering...

I'm not a big fan. I've always been a big fan of high mount or underseat exhaust systems so these low-slung cans don't really work for me. The styling just looks a little old to me.
#11
Kinda reminds me of that movie "Back to the Future" Seems everything old is new again. Maybe I'm getting old, and my memory is getting foggy, but it honestly look too much different to me than the last one. Fortunately I see that I'm not the only one that thinks that. Honda can keep it, I'm not interested.
#12
Looks like someone got somewhat creative in Photoshop to me, That can looks like the stock cans on the 5th gen vfr and the last Blackbird, not sure it would meet the more stringent EU emissions regulations of today.

It's a shame honda don't seem to want to listen to there buying public, we are all crying out for a new VFR, as are our European friends, the Blackbird crowd is obviously doing the same and what do Honda in there infinite wisdom do? Release an ugly new 50hp "scooter" (DN-01).

:( :wacko:
#13
hey honda, combine the two:

v-five engine with over 150 RWHP with comfort and handling to match.

call ir a vfrc 1000.

I wouldnt be the first time someone invented a style of bike or a genre.

then the blackbird and VFR folks would all line up and buy one. except me cause I sticking with my 5th gen. and buying this:

That doesnt look very new. The rear end looks like it came off of a 1990 zx-10.
#15
Oh, I've got ta turtle head poken out. No really, I've gotta take a crrappp so bad. That looks like shite. My god!

Please read above with a heavy scottish accent.
I want my baby back, baby back, baby back. . . . . ribs.

If I ever do go to another bike, I think it would either be the new CBR 1000, a yamaha R1 or possibly even a superduke.
Even the new Kawi's look better than that.
Maybe Honda should stick to generators and mowers until some rich Texan with a set buys them out, takes the bull by the horns and gets
all freaky deaky with the market of sport bikes.

Opps, sorry. Haven't even had a coffee yet today. Must calm down. Where's my meds?

Another cheesy Euro-photoshop.

That I like! Is it inspired by one of these? (Couldn't find a pic of one with fairing)

Wow, looks old and out dated and it isn't even out yet, of course it's all speculation anyway.

Jesus - that looks horrible. Looks like they designed in two stages - one fucked up and the other the morning after. The design doesn't 'flow' at all. Alot bikes have those traits. I'm all for aggressive looking front ends but just never been a big fan of em.
#25
I think I just threw up a little in my throat... Why Honda, WHY!!??

I can only pray that this is someone's photo shop nightmare, and not an actual bike.
