    I'll not bother looking because it's just another Honda.

    I was more interested in England leaving out Harmison and Bopara tbh.

    Bleedin 'ell. What's that supposed to be? If it's a sports bike, it's
    way too heavy. If it's a sports-tourer, the pillion isn't going to
    have much fun. Bizarre. BMW must be laughing quietly.

    TFFT. They've been on borrowed time all year, IMO.

    Doesn't appeal to this here BMW owner, but then again I'm not too fond
    of the new BMW designs anyway.

    What we need is "ugly touring bikes" group test - VFR1200F vs Versys vs
    Bandit.

    That's so they can sell you the optional "luxurious Alcantara seat for
    extra comfort".
    Snorting into their Steins, I'd imagine.

    Quite. High seat, grab handles to get in the way and exhaust fumes
    nicely fumigating you when at a standstill.

    And this bit puzzled me. "The bike is capable of staying in top gear
    (in the same gear) between 130 and 195 km/hr". What happens if you
    want to go faster than that?

    I wouldn't count the Versys as a touring bike (1)(2) and that new
    Honda is the ugliest thing I've seen in years.

    (1) I know you can tour on it but you can tour on a 125 if you want
    to.
    (2) As far as I can tell it's more of a commuter than anything else.

    It's like they've gone out of their way to make an uglier FJR1300.

    Useless.
