The green sucks but I like the black and the silver, not in the same way I like looking at a Ducati, but it isn't bad.
The black and silver looks relatively good...relative to the bike being ugly...its like choosing to date 3 ugly women...you typically would choose the least ugly.
BMW had one of these out at my last trackday here at Streets. What a sweet ride. I offered them to hold the keys to my R1200GS which costs a a lot more than this thing and they wouldn't let me take it out on the track.
The ABS on this bike has three levels to choose from and I also believe you could change the map on the fly as well.
All I know is the dude that was on this bike was SMOKIN the numbered bikes in the fast group and not breakin a sweat.

This months Motorcyclist definitely makes this thing sound incredibly cool from a tech stanpoint. The traction control, wheelie control, etc all sound great. I'd be sold if I could get past the looks and the insane desire for Italian heartache.
...dude you ride an offroad bike with slicks, 1/2 the weight of a GS, double the suspension, with a browning 50 cal going off 32" from your skull as a daily freaking driver - I'd expect anything except a nitro dragbike to be bland by comparison - SSG

Testify, Brutha!
Seriously - amazing looking machine. And is it just me, or does this one look like it actually has realistic ergos?
I actually don't mind the looks all that much, although I'll withhold final judgment for when I see it in person.
The price, compared to the other stuff, doesn't seem that bad either.

Honda needs to show them how to do a tank cover. That cover just looks like someone said "oh shit we need to cover this up" and told an intern to do it.

my thoughts exactly, but I like it. Every part of this bike lacks originality, but it looks good enough and probably performs better than a lot of bikes.

Seriously though, I'll miss my old reliable commuter/track bike but I think this winter the aftermarket stuff will be sold separately and then the bike will get sold or traded in. I already have an interested party for my Ohlins forks...he may even be a member here
2002 945RR...She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid.
