    Interesting. The new Honda Hornet 600 in Europe (which, IMO, looks a
    lot worse than the previous one, and goes back to a conventional
    exhaust. But does have an ajustable seat) and the new CB5 both
    include optional ABS.

    No word yet on pricing, but I think it will be an interesting
    expriment to see if/how well ABS sells on the honda "real world"
    roadbike line.

    The fazer 600/FZ6 will probably blow it away in sales, however: The
    fazer has 1 gallon more in the gas tank, probably a good 10 hp more, a
    much stiffer aluminum frame, etc etc tec.


    And for those speed junkies, the new CBR1000 (which is keeping the
    Fireblade name in europe)

    Altohugh looking at it, I have a hunch the R1 will be a bit more
    popular, because the R1 is a lot slimmer (frame OVER rather than
    around engine, engine narrower too, I think), and IMO, looks better.

    The electronic steering damper looks interesting tho.
