It says 1200 right on the side of the bike
I don't really like the stacked headlights - I bet that thing is a pig!

I cant stand the seats and headlights.
I like the two piece seats, where the passenger sits higher.

Those breaks don't look like they would even phase that bike. Love the "Touring" tires.

I don't know wtf you're talking about. Just look at the front rotors compared to the rears... That's not a cornering bike. And the tires just back it up. Course the displacement should have given it away to begin w/. And it's ugly.

are you guys saying this is the equivalent of a cruiser? hear me out first...

like its got all the sportbike trimmings for style points and a big big engine, but its really too piggy and slow in the turns to be a purebred sportbike? so its like just for show and looking cool? oh yeah and fast in a straight line?

I almost forgot the "Schwin Stingray Bananna seat" inspired passenger bar. Neat.

I guess you guys dont like all the honda cbr 600 line pre f4i then cause they have the same seats.

The headlight, well it looks like everyone is making them pointy like the busa, 03 gix 1k, and some of the italian bikes.

Granted it is heavier than most sportbikes, but it leans more towards sport touring. It is similar to the zx12r, hyabusa, but it is underpowered in comparison to the other two and may be heavier as well.

I wonder if they are going to have that linked front/rear abs brake setup on the new xx?

fugly, I have started to like the Honda sport bikes less and less each year. I am really starting to like the styling of the Yamaha bikes.

*barf*

God its a Superblackturd, not only has it fallen out of the fugly tree and hit every single branch on the way down it has comedy brakes.

Big H can make some amazing things and then they make this. Its not as good as a Pan Am or a Goldbling for touring and some way off a CBR9 for going round corners.

Pointless IMO.

I think the negative comments are unfounded. Just because the design is now dated (brand new back in '97) doesn't make the bike a POS. I wish I had the $$ to replace my bike every 2 years so I'm not riding some obsolete turd.

that thing looks like a cross between a katana (seat and handle), a cbr(fairing), a skooter (the turn signals), and some sv650 tires, pretty big brakes..


i second the fugly statement man

someone had to have chopped this.. no way honda would make something that gay looking.. the twin headlights gives it away

edit: i hope!
