Just a repost. The pictures from the Motoblog.it site were taken by a friend of mine near the Raticosa pass (south of Bologna). So it was not definitely taken on the Alps... credit where it's due!
Official presentation will be later this week.
Talked to a friend of mine who is a Honda mechanic and they still haven't given the dates for the official maintenance courses to dealerships though they leaked out that this engine will be "much less thirsty" than previous V4s and "considerably less bulky" than the present RC45-derived engine.
I hope my Honda connections will allow me to test ride it in person in the future...
