Good idea.  But he can change it back if he wants.  He has the power.

Not out till last week sept / first week oct .. Ish ..... There apparently is one or maybe 2 actually riding around in the US .... Spoilt rich sons of execs allegedly

I had a similar moment couple weeks ago .... Drove opposite direction to 'the bike' ... Nearly wet myself with excitement .... 'FZ09 FZ09!!!!!!!' ... Illegal u-turn at traffic lights to follow ... It disappeared into the burbs at speed ...  ... Looked online for similar since .... Narrowed it down to a few .... Pretty sure it was a Honda CBR1000R .... Not a RR ... Went and looked at a new one in shop to verify ... And considering the brief glimpse I got of the ridden bike .. Reckon it's that... Plus the dealer man said they have a few locals that bought one recently....  ... It was a bit of a letdown

Also checked with a 'kind of mate' who works for a bike magazine .... He gets to do all sorts of cool new bike test rides and reviews ... The bastard!  ... He said he has his name on list to try one out... But the very first chance wasn't till late sept-ish .... I trust his word enough on that, he 'good people'.

I know I'll be lynched but I think it looks like crap. Then again I think most new bikes look like crap. To many angled edges. To many little pieces of plastic everywhere. And that skinny rear and plate hanger??? They're on all the bikes today. Shlit, I'd be afraid to fart on it.

@Janx101 - This bugger was too skinny @ the motor to be the 1000rr ... had to be a twin ...

@ Pliskin: LOL, I think the headlight looks like optimus prime's testicles ... the rest its OK.

Yamaha - we have to watch the suckers real close ... they's slap an R on a bike and replace the bloody AL frame with a steel frame paint it wrinkly ... and raise the $$$ a few 1000 ...
Of course suzuki and kawasai and hondal all do that same crap ...

Cool.

[The Buddha]

MT09 - talk about re-inventing the wheel ... they couldn't send that TRX900 over ... sheesh ... a 3 cyl ... WTH
