I sure hope it kicks ass in the the comparo's this year. Since they uglied the he11 out of it, it better perform. As I said on a previous post, it was sure porky at the IMS. Now the weights show it too. Not that it matters to me, I cant do enough yoga to ride one.

Any power/torque v. RPM plots available?
This motor could be the basis for a fine sport touring bike ...goodness knows Honda is stagnant on this front. |

i agree with you 12er, that headlight arangement is really ugly. but it will be interesting to see how it performs against the 08 fireblade.
it won masterbike in spain last year and also here in australia we had our own version of Master Bike and the 08 fireblade won it very easily. Last edited by cbf900 : 01-19-2009 at 02:14 AM. |

Will it look good with a rider in flip-flops and a wife-beater? How will it look with a chubby chick in low-riding jeans and exposed thong as a passenger? |
