There is going to be an f5 and a 600 rr. The 600 rr is pretty fugly. imo.

Just like kawi is going to have a zx6rr and a regular zx6 which will be a 636 cc bike i believe.

There is going to be an F5. Like i said. It is NOT a 600rr. It is going to look like the Rc211v MotoGP bike. In other words it will look WAY better then that 600rr thing. There will be both to choose. Maybe honda will finally have THE 600 again. Its been a while.

I think the 600rr looks sick too. Not in a good way. But i don't know sh#@ anyway.
If the F5 does in fact look like the gp bike, oh boy.

I read in road racing world (i think thats what the magazine is called) that they have NO PLANS on making something close to a RC211V.

BASED ON LOOKS ONLY!!!!!!!!!! Not the actual RC211V. That is part of the rules for the gp bikes. NOT to be production based.

Actually Freaker if you goto the honda motorcycles website the F4i and the 600rr are on the 03 lineup, there isn't any F5. Also if you have ever seen the RC211V, the 600RR strikes a remarkable resemblence to it.

hrm.... to me it didnt look too close to the RC211V imo. maybe i was looking at something different

also, as i was reading through that magazine, there was a topic on how unreliable Suzuki GSX-R has gotten to. check it out, it was pretty astonishing.

I was going off what was in print in the new issue of Sport Rider. Like i said before, i don't know sh@#, so i could have nad info. I think honda should build a bike to look ALOT like the rc211v. If they did, i might have to do something stupid like ride a honda again!

Page 20, December 2002 issue of Sport Rider. Headline, "New CBR600F5 to resemble RC211V MOTOGP Racebike." "Despite continuing to sell thousands of the F4i's, Honda is apparently tired of getting sand kicked in its face everytime the bike goes up against the competition in a middleweight shootout." (VERY TRUE) "A new CBR600F5 will make its debut for 2003, and the bike will not only be more sport-focused than ever before, but it will also bear more than a passing resemblance to Valentino Rossi's works Repsol Honda RC211V MotoGP five cylinder racebike"

This is what is in print, that is all i am going off of. OH the comment in paranthesis is from me.
