    Looks kinda like a VFR on steroids. Interesting. Had a definite kinda porky
    look to it, in a sportsbike kinda way.

  3. Thanks to the housing for the MX-style steering damper at the front of the
    tank, atop the steering shaft, I'd be inclined to agree. In which case,
    sales-wise, the ZX10 should knock seven shades of green out of it on looks
    alone. That is one fuggen awkward-looking sportsbike. Thanks to the layout
    of the panelling (just follow the bolts) and helped along by the paint
    scheme, it looks like it's all bellypan; it needs a much bigger screen to
    offset it.

    The red-blue-white one looks like the biggest stylistic dry-heave since the
    CBR600F4 came in the same colours, and wtf is that rear master cylinder
    doing up by the pillion peg?

    One thing that does make me think this could be a fake are the Tokico front
    calipers... I can't think of a single other Honda ever to not have had
    Nissin brakes...

    Look at the line which - literally - blurs the clutch cover into the uber-bellypan. Pretty shithouse job even by photochop
    standards.

    I also doubt Honda will make the front look so similar to the 600RR.

  5. ?!?
    What? What? What am i looking at?
    ....
    I'm gonna stop looking soon...

    I presume you're talking about the 3/4 rh shot of the (gag) red-white-blue
    bike. I'm looking at the clutch cover on that picture at 7:1 magnification
    in Photoshop right now and I can't see shit wrong with it... it just shows
    off that the weird-arse layout of the shift mechanism evident on the lh side
    shots might be due to Honda having pulled off some trick which allows them
    to have the engine be super-narrow at the back...
    Why? Plenty of milk left in the RC-V's udders...

    Looks like it's wearing its trousers too high to me.

  7. The better to explain the high-pitched inline-four exhaust note...
    Meanwhile, the clowns on the Cro m/c newsgroup (three abbreviations in a row
    was a bit much, I thought) are seeing who can come up with the longest
    German noun...

    Selbstentzuendungswiderstandsfaehigkeit, which means resistance to
    detonation (knock), kicked it off...

    They're up to,
