Here is the link to the uk honda website with a full spec sheet READ THE PRESS RELEASEhttp://www.honda.co.uk/newcontender/ i hope by reducing all that weight they didnt turn the bike into a gixxer and dont even get me started on the half gixxer half r6 with a honda *** look and wtf with the exhaust valve ?. Also 88KW = 118 HP at the crank and 66 Newton meters = 48 FT lBS i think also the dry weight is is 340-350 i forget the conversion

 

what do you mean "WTF with the exhaust valve"? Don't you know what an exhaust is supposed to do? this is a good thing.

 

What does the exhaust valve do? I dont know what that is. Is it like the ferraris where when you get on it at WOT it opens up to allow better flow and lots of noise. Then its makes it quiet (er) at idle

 

in a nutshell, it helps create HP.

 

i like the color sheme.....the black on black in my fav...but the others are tight!....i hope 07 has more hp....

 

If that's what we're getting next year, I'm keeping my 05' for longer than I planned.

 

Maybe it is a good thing but most of what i have read about exhaust valves on other bikes is how to remove them IE Flapper Mods

 

loks nice accept for where the tail light is located under the exhaust

 

+1 on the tail lights...i'll keep my 06....
