That new tiny Honda...

kAnO secured a place in history by writing:

Bike reviewed it this month, and ruled it basically boring. Expensive too.

 

too.

Bike slagging off a Honda?

Can't be right...

 

Their sister pub MCN gave the usual predictable result and announced the
new Honda to be better than the ZX10, Gixxer and R1. I didn't buy that
issue and I only buy MCN about once every month or so nowadays. The
group tests used to piss me off - when reviewing one of the other bikes
they would point out areas where they felt the Honda to be best but when
talking about the Honda no other bike would get a mention at all. I
started to wonder if Honda was a significant shareholder in that
particular group.

 

Weren't we talking about the CBR125? Cos that has to be one _fucking_
impressive 125, to take on and beat the 3 top litre bikes.

Imagine how good the CBR250 must be!

OOps! Sorry, I came in late and thought it was about the Blade
replacement.

 

Yeah, she has looked at a CB400 which would probably give her more long-term enjoyment, at a guess.
She was put off by the lack of fairing but that can be fixed.

 

It's good to have dreams...

 

No need for apologies - sticking your oar in when you don't really
understand what people are talking about is a long and noble ukrm tradition

If you're talking about the new honda rowing boat then I've heard that it's
shit.

 

Superdreams are better.

 

Depends who's in them...

You'll need to Babelfish it.

I used to get some crazy lean angles on that 400 and it put up with more
abuse than it was fair to give it but why be put off because it's not
got a fairing?

I had a fly screen on mine but I reckon anything else would spoil the
look of it IMO.

 

Windblast. I'm not the best to advise as I've never had a bike without a fairing.

Agreed!

Well I'm 6'2" and did ok

Lovely looking bike IMHO. If I had the cash I'd love one of the 1300s

 

Well, you say that, but Bill Haylock's neg review of the original GL1000 got
the whole mag blacklisted from Honda's test fleet.
