yeah rumors been stirring for 1/2 year. no actual spy pics or anything yet.

i think motorcyclist mag. said expect a GSXR power level engine wedged into the 600RR frame. can you say sick.

But knowing how Honda does things, it will lack the extreme amount of horsepower, as well as be a little chunky. However, it will be way more livable and user-friendly enough for us plebians who won't be able to wring out every last iota of performance from it. And, have a hard-*** seat that's totally uncomfortable.

I'll still drool over it.

I think almost ANY new bike will be lighter than the 600RR. That thing is a porker!
