Coming soon to a Honda dealer near you, errr EU...

And by you I mean Europe. Bastages!

CB1000R -- notice the swingarm






It's so ugly, I like it.

damn these nakeds look good. Could do with a different end can though, but with Euro III standards, i guess they are all going to look this bulky to hide the cat con.

 

Damn, I was hoping to get the rear wheel off a wrecked one later this year at a salvage yard for my VFR.. If they are only going over seas the Iam SOL.

 

Ugly as sin

 

Looks like an LED marker/driving light for daytime.

 

They are also getting the DN-01. http://honda.co.uk/motorcycles/2008/DN-01/index.html
I wish Honda would also pay attention to the U.S. market. Even if they offered a limited quantity of these bikes, it would be nice to be able to get one if I were so inclined.

 

I don't think the US market would be too hip to the DN-01... Can't decide if it's a sportbike, cruiser or scooter... But will say one thing, it sure rhymes a little too much with day.

 

Probably not, but I still would like to have a choice. I don't think it would look gay in person or if it was a different color.

 

That really looks like the ktm 990 super duke!

 

Agreed. I can't decide if i like it or hate it. Something about the proportions seems off to me. Think its the tank (like the Duke).

Speed triple still my top pick for factory streetfighter.

 

Hmmm,
I heard the CB1000R was coming to the US market mid Feb/08

I like it in silver, & I bet it would be awesome for wheelies (not that I would do that kind of illegal activity :wink: ).

I also wish they would of stayed with the undertail exhaust, it would give it a much cleaner look & show off that wonderful SSSA :biggrin:

Then again, this could be a hint of what there going to do with all the I4 1000 motors if they drop the Fireblade for a V4 VF1000R :tongue: for late '08 or early '09
fingers crossed & savings been started :smile:

 

Hope the new VFR will have same suspension!
This is probably first bike for EU only,according to our dealers.

 

From different angle:smile:

 

Not a fan in the least. Slightly too radical for me. Is this the way bikes are going? Lucky I bought when I did.

Edit:

Really fantastic looking brake and clutch reservoirs too. They really make the bike.. NOT. Not that I have experience or anything but they kinda look like urine sample cups. :0

 

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

 

I kinda like the bike... I wonder how comfortable it would be to ride.
Motorcyclist mag picked the Super duke 990 to be the most fun to ride in their last issue.. I'm looking at a picture of the Super duke right now and can't believe how similar these two bikes are.

I do think the bike would look better with under tail exhaust though.
