    I got a silly question, I wonder if the site checks your box for your timezone for the countdown? Or if it's using GMT or some other "local time" for wherever the site is from?

    It is 5:20PM EDT, and the site shows 6 days, 12 hours, 40 minutes to me.

    What's the time to you Shorty (or someone else in another timezone)?

    Hmmm, so shows the same time, must be either GMT or the site's local time. I'm guessing (and hoping) GMT then, as that would make some sense...

    So, if my math is right (BIG if) AND it's GMT (or UTC, or Zulu, whichever), then the countdown ends at 6AM (0600) EDT on October 7th...

    Per an email I got today, here's what to expect when the timer is up:
    "We are very pleased to tell you that the new VFR 1200F will be launched online on Thursday 8th October at 12.00 CET (11.00am GMT).

    On the website will be films, downloads, full technical specs, interviews, animations of new technologies, 360° of all three colours and much much more!

    Make sure you are in front of your computer next Thursday to be the first to see the new VFR!"

    Hype? Sure, but if any bike was worth some hype to us, this is it!
