as much hate as the new honda is getting here...i will bet my lunch that it will out sell the BMW/KTM/Ducati versions.

I happen to appreciate this new bike. It has an amazing amount of new tech that i think moves bike into the new stage. Is its the best bike in its segment by far..or ANY segment? i know, its different and a bit odd..but its packed with a buttload of technology that is good and it looks good enough in my book. Id buy one if i was looking for a bike in that segment.

Stand back and stare at the headlight long enough and you'll see the Taco Bell Chihuahua...

Probably a real nice Sport Touring bike, but boy would I look funny on that in my ten year old Aerostich suit...
