Thanks for the vids, Spirit! I think I said it earlier, but I am a fan of function over form. The two guys in the vids loved the ability of the new bike. I think we need to wait to pass judgement (based on sex appeal) on this 2008 until we get the results of Moto GP...can't wait!

Don't get me wrong guys, I bet the thing handles like a dream (it certainly sounds like a fantastic bike), but they could have made it prettier. But it's like women I guess...........the uglier they are on the outside, the prettier they are on the inside. (sometimes. )

I don't like it. The only thing I saw that I liked was the gauges. They look ez to read. The carbon fenders are nice. But over all it is hideous. It looks heavy the tail is super gay! I threw up a little in my mouth when I saw the new tail on both the 1000rr and the new moto gp bikes. I told them on the survey the exact same thing Fox did, the tail is unproportionate, needs hid's and some 5 or 10 spoke wheels would be nice.

Told them the stupid cat'seye headlights suck, non undertail exhaust sucks, looks like a futuristic videogame gun.

Where is the friggin single sided swingarm?

Bodywork too skimpy

Front and rear views look horrid.

Accessories? They should be a track day pass and a set of leathers.

People want to ride what their heroes in GP, WSB, AMA ride, not a sporty goldwing.

Either make a race bike or don't...no more passenger pegs...passenger seat...should have a cowl already...a number kit.

License plate holder and turn signals should quick bolt out in less than 3 seconds.

Next bike?

ZX-10 or a CBR if they get serious.

LOL...I wasn;t trying to be mean, just want more race in the race replicas. Otherwise build a Goldwing RR with an optional Rally Fun Pack and Chevy Chase painted on the tank.

Yea, but the bike won't blow you.

definately would pass this by no questions

i prefer a bike with larger side fairings (ie f4i and previous), full sized side exhuast or atleast underseat, color matching gas tanks and front fender, smaller license plate bracket, longer tail, seat looks uncomfy, and adding graphics would help
i wouldn't be suprised if it is redesigned after a single year

i expect better from honda

i could not ride this bike bc i would feel nauseated as i walk towards it
