Had this email sent to mea few days ago, Judging the book by its cover Honda have taken a step backward (Closer to boring) what do you all think!

Honda’s New Contender

2

Shades of R6 on the nose?

Doesn’t do it for me.

3

I quite like the new colours…It’ll probably win MCNs 600cc round up (if that really matters to anyone).

4

No way! they call it “the R6 beater”

I’D LIKE TO SEE THEM BEAT ME!

Looks like a cross between the fireblade and the rr.

I love Hondas but that one wouldnt be on my wish list.

6

how do!

i went abingdon honda on oxfordshire and the blokes wern’t to keen on it, somthing to do with the eec emission regs and electronic steering damping, but im optomistic, its lighter and beefier (on paper anyway!)

Sounds strange if thats a Honda dealer. Especially when the same electronic damper is used in the blade and mags rave about it!

I used to work in a Honda dealer and if you were there slagging a bike off you’d probably get the chop! Bit strange…do they sell other makes? Maybe theres mark up on other bikes or possibley they have lots of RR6’s to move?

I’m tempted to get an 07 for racing…got the 05 RR but it seriously lacks at the bottem end…something the 07 is meant have lots of.

8

The bike looks lovely to me and i`ve no doubt it will be a leading contender on track.

Sammo, let me know if you get one, suspension tweaks will be on their way… but i`ll have to test it of course

9

I like it!

10

Front end, including fairing looks a direct rip off of R6, or did Honda develop this 1st adn get beaten to the line by Yam??

It’s not green, and it’s not Kwak, so no good, eh!?!

11

Hmmm to me the front end looks like the SP2 front and it’s the rear that looks like they ‘borrowed’ it from the R6.

12

well this bike does everything you could ask of it,its light agile more bottom grunt comfortable a pure pleasure to ride…after spending around 2/3 hours on it

13

So these are available now?

I swear I saw one on the road about 2 weeks ago.

14

they are available for test rides and to buy from 1st of march

15

I seen another one on Saturday too.

I swear some lucky gits have got them early. Guess they could both have been on a test ride.

I might try one meself

16

I should have a test ride on March the 1st, it will be on my mates when he picks it up

17

Love it love it love it!!!

18

but what do you think about the new c b r

19

Yeah it’s alright

20

Its a nice bike in its self but i got to agree on the similarities to the R6, maybe they need some fresh inspiration?
