I kind like the Candy Red one.

[OreoGaborio]

Different. And by different I mean interesting. And by interesting I mean unique. And by unique i mean hideous.





but... i almost kinda like it.

[ChR1s]

Good-bye, market share.

[Crash Dummy Denno]

ugh

[elwood206]

awww, what the hell to they do to the front end?
they should take a lesson from the ford contour, bubles are UGLY!

[KillBill]

ICK!!!!!

Even the whale vagina exhaust on the GSXR is nicer than that!

[a13x]

That looks nothing like a Honda.
Congratulations Honda on finally erasing all brand identity!

[OreoGaborio]

oh hush, what do you know about Honda brand loyalty?


oh wait

[CBRGuru]

I can't imagine how an aftermarket exhuast will blend with the lines of that body work. I hope the look grows on me or I will stay with my 05.

he he he.. shh!

Here's a photo of the front...
I'm gonna hold judgement till I see in person.
If its like the 07 600RR then it might be a rocking good time.

[old timer]

Pretty sad when the mirrors are the high point...

No thanks Honda , I'll check back next year...

It's a tie for ugliest bike made now, that thing or the hyabusa? Man is that thing god aweful ugly

[SVRACER01]

not as sharp looking as bikes in the past. very rounded. especially the nose. resembles a late 90s VFR from the side and a Ninja 650 from the front. looks narrow though. could just be the headlights.

The CBR is ugly... but c'mon, it's not THAT ugly!

[nilez]

Well I'm happy Honda has learned a few lessons here from the other bike manufacturers... They've taken the rear end (the undertail and swingarm) from an R6, the exhaust from a GSXR 6, the cramped up stubby look from the ZX-10R, and the front end from a kid with downs syndrome... ohh well. some schmuck will buy it

[R-S-V]

Looks like crap, don't need to see more. Meanwhile, Yamaha makes beauties like this:

[OreoGaborio]

For some reason the side fairing makes me think Flight of the Navigator

[Degsy]

I'm fucking dumbstruck. i hope it's better in person. I think Honda have been going in the wrong durection for a couple of years, bu this...this is..just...I'm lost for words. Hopefully it's more fun than it looks, kind of like a librarian with a g-string under her trouser-suit.

Now that Yamaha.......!!!!

[akira700]

alright that R6 is sweet but I'm gonna go against the grain here
and say I think I like it...

And here I was thinking how could it get any worse

You're rite Pete, it's not that bad...but it's not far behind either

[Trackday Guru]

Supposedly, this one's got significant weight savings and also a big increase in horsepower.

Dear Lord please let this be true because, as posted above, it's not too bad looking - just different, but my initial impression is that Honda won't be selling a ton of 'em based solely on looks.

[TTD]

Get rid of the silver color in the middle... make that black, and the bottom stuff red and it's not too bad.

But... I am having trouble with the whole "stop the tail section short of the rear wheel" trend.

I think it looked stupid when MotoGP did it... and still not liking it.

[JeffL]

Looks like the new Ninja 250.

[mikeb]

maybe there thinking function over form? going against the grain?. thinking outside the box?. smoking shit loads of crack?

honda hasn't made anything i've lusted for in years.
