    Hmmm.... now I wonder if those Givi brackets would fit this new beast.

    190 hp... um... Lisa would kill me. :)

  4. 2006 eh?

    2 years to wear out the busa, looks kinda in the ballpark.

    But thinking about it. Honda don't usually give away details on
    anything that far in advance. 2 years sounds wrong. I wonder where the
    story originates?

    Cheers

    Yes - quite speculative, I speculate. :) I hope you've either got a very
    old 'Busa or do huge kms. I'd hope the XX doesn't wear out by '06.

    It will be interesting to compare the ride position of the new beast with
    the XX. More importantly, the key to all new purchases must be happy
    perched on the back too - hope she likes it more than the current Viffer
    (which she hated for some reason).

    I expect death would be self inflicted.

    Dunno. But there's been a fair bit of speculation about a road going
    RC211V.

    Perhaps this'll be it.

  14. Yep. When you stack, a little alarm goes off in Honda HQ, and they dispatch
    a helicopter to remove all traces of the bike and replace it with a crashed
    bike of another brand.

    Hmmm more MCN CGI bullshit... The brits love tabloids!

    Why do Honda always make tourers (VFRs) out of their most fashionable
    technology?

    I suppose most of the world market must have less of an interest in
    super sport bikes than Australia and England.

    I think a ferrari is a lot heavier than an excel, from memory a diablo
    weighs in over 2 tons, and a suzuki cino is 800kg?
    does that mean the excel and cino is more sportier?
