I like it.

Also, I strongly considered replacing my bike with the new CBR250R for awhile before I finally (knock on wood) resolved my bike's ever-present oil leaks. If Honda built a 400 cc (or so) twin with the similar styling to the CBR250R I would buy it as well.

I don't know about a 500, but I'd love to find one of these 125's I saw in Berlin...
This looks like a lot of fun and very stylish, too!

those look like fun, but if I had my pick of 125s, I know exactly which one I'd go with...

Pretty!  .. and, coincidentally, almost exactly like a gs500f, but with a different color scheme ;)

I wonder how honda justifies giving it an "R" suffix, though

How did you do that?  Replace all the engine gaskets?
1982 Kawi GPZ-750, 1998 GS500.

Tightened where the tachometer cable goes into the cylinder head, new cylinder head gasket, new head cover O rings, new oil chamber gasket, and a new magneto cover gasket. Was afraid I had more serious issues but it seemed to be leak free for about 500 miles before I put it away for the winter.
