i dont understand why honda always has to keep the ugly 3 spoke wheels.

why can they just use the nice *** rc211v wheels that they used to have on the f2/f3 and rc51?

heres a pic


and rc51


USE THESE WHEELS HONDAAAAA

Looks good I'd rock it !!! yeah I like the idea of putting the RC51 wheels on the honda line up. they are a really nice design. the 3 spoke is bland !

Love it. Chris Ulrich just turned lap times on a stock 08 good enough to qualify for the 07 AMA round at Laguna Seca. Nice. They could put wire-spoked wheels on it and I wouldn't care.

No matter how I try and try to give the 08 liter hondas a chance, they still ugly as hell. That front makes it look like a Power Ranger vehicle.

the ten kate livery looks pretty nice on the bike.

From what ive read, that 08 Repsol is customized by a dealer. it is not the official scheme from honda.
