>>CBR150R: this bike has been a huge international sales
>>hit, and it’s time for Americans to join the fun. It’s a great

>>rack. MSRP$6399USD
>>

>>seven speed transmission, this bike will be unique in the
>>American market. MSRP$6299USD
>>
>>Shadow 700: Exclusive to North America, this new model
>>will have the state-of-the-art drive train of Honda’s DN-01
