BladeWitch we try to keep things on one thread to make them easier for everyone to find when they need too, if you notice there is already a thread with this info why not just add to that thread mate. The search engine is crap so just makes it easier all round plus there's nothing worse than seeing the same thread pop up 20 times
In the vid it does look really nice!! I so dont want to like this bike with Honda hanging us out to dry yet another year without a completely new bike peddling this old design around again but im starting to really like it!!! Maybe an SP rep on the cards for some I bet!!
Totally agree Lambchops the more i see it, the more it's starting to grow on me I'm not a fan of gold wheels but they really do suit the colour scheme
Best thing about this bike is it WON'T be available with C-ABS (at least in US). I'm sure Brembo wouldn't want to put their name on Honda's crap system!
HONDA AUSTRALIA has just confirmed by phone that the CBR1000RR SP will indeed be released in australia sometime between jan - mar 2014 so put your orders in now lads.
also there are gold touches on the rear suspension with the gold chrome forks as well - im not a fan of gold wheels either but these added gold/brass touches does bring the whole package into tasteful form nicely.
from looking at this video - it appears the TT legends influenced colour scheme is not exclusive or special to the 1000RR SP, what a shame.
i really dislike them gold wheels, they look soo naff ( imo ) and surely being an SP the could have put a nice race can on instead of that watering can bog standard can???
