RE: Why not more cc classes out of Honda?
Yup ...the Honda CBR 125 / 250 400 / do exist scattered around the globe and are not sold everywhere due to market demands and specific local economies and laws....
A CBR750 ?? I dunno if that would be worthwhile myself ...IMO
The 600's already go like **** out of a shanghai and the 1000's well they suit the physically larger guys a bit better ...
A 750 might be nice , but I think the small differences may make them not economical to produce / manufacture??

I have wondered why they don't market everything they make either. I mean they make 400s and 750s and 125s ... how much more could it cost to throw a couple on a showroom floor? Unless it is some emission thing that's a total horrible pain.
Seems the bike manufacturers are always a few years behind what a vast segment of the market want. But when you have limited choices you buy what they got or go somewhere else.

The Honda 800 Interceptor.. That bikes nothing but a joke! Completly gutless, and if the vtech kicks in on a corner it's scary
Honda doesn't seem to know how to market bikes here in North America. eg I really like the euro CB1000R, but honda won't be bringing it to canada cause the Honda Hornet was a complete failure. Well no kidding, the hornet sucked. Who brings out a carb bike in this day an age, when even bandits are fuel injected?
I was just at the bike show last weekend, and they where showing the DN-01 17 grand for a scooter? hmm Wake up Honda

Gutless. Probably the wrong wording for a bike that does just fine on the track, road, and traveling. Have you ridden one or are you saying what a bunch of fake bikers are saying? I own a fifth gen so I have no opinions on the vtec.
The ninja 250 and hyosung 250 sell like hot cakes around here. I dont know why someone else doesnt compete. I loved my ninja 250. Wouldnt mind getting one of the newer ones.
I love the look of the newer gsxr's. I'd take a 750.

RE: Why not more cc classes out of Honda?
yes I have riden one. I was planing on buying my friends 2006 model.
When the vtech is not engaged it's pretty gutless, more tuned for highway cruising. And when the vtech engages around 6000 rpm it's like a turbo kicking in or something. It's a huge smack of instantaniuos all or nothing power. Best way I can describe it's it like a light switch, click, boom power. Which I could have gotten used to in straight aways. But what happend to me is I was in a turn then I accedentally hit the 6000 mark, and the bike give me a good jolt and scared the crap out of me.
I think the newer ones might be better. I think really though they need to make it with a button, that turns the vtech on or off manually, like the riding modes on a suzuki
