Looks kinda like a VFR on steroids. Interesting. Had a definite kinda porky
look to it, in a sportsbike kinda way.

Thanks to the housing for the MX-style steering damper at the front of the
tank, atop the steering shaft, I'd be inclined to agree. In which case,
sales-wise, the ZX10 should knock seven shades of green out of it on looks
alone. That is one fuggen awkward-looking sportsbike. Thanks to the layout
of the panelling (just follow the bolts) and helped along by the paint
scheme, it looks like it's all bellypan; it needs a much bigger screen to
offset it.

The red-blue-white one looks like the biggest stylistic dry-heave since the
CBR600F4 came in the same colours, and wtf is that rear master cylinder
doing up by the pillion peg?

One thing that does make me think this could be a fake are the Tokico front
calipers... I can't think of a single other Honda ever to not have had
Nissin brakes...

Look at the line which - literally - blurs the clutch cover into the uber-bellypan. Pretty shithouse job even by photochop
standards.

I also doubt Honda will make the front look so similar to the 600RR.

?!?
What? What? What am i looking at?
....
I'm gonna stop looking soon...

I presume you're talking about the 3/4 rh shot of the (gag) red-white-blue
bike. I'm looking at the clutch cover on that picture at 7:1 magnification
in Photoshop right now and I can't see **** wrong with it... it just shows
off that the weird-arse layout of the shift mechanism evident on the lh side
shots might be due to Honda having pulled off some trick which allows them
to have the engine be super-narrow at the back...

Why? Plenty of milk left in the RC-V's udders...

Looks like it's wearing its trousers too high to me.

The better to explain the high-pitched inline-four exhaust note...

Meanwhile, the clowns on the Cro m/c newsgroup (three abbreviations in a row
was a bit much, I thought) are seeing who can come up with the longest
German noun...

Selbstentzuendungswiderstandsfaehigkeit, which means resistance to
detonation (knock), kicked it off...

They're up to,
