    I parked next to this at Squires yesterday. What is it? Is for children? Why would one purchase one? image.jpg

    I don't know it looks like it could be fun, at least i'd be in charge for a change rather than the other way around when I ride the blade! :oops:

    I have seen these to a honda dealer and they looked fun for a short commute. About £2800-3500 if i remember. Quality a bit cheap though...:-o

    Seem a bit small for an adult to sit on. They must be uncomfortable, one would be all hunched up.

    It's a Repsol so it would have been fast...that's why the photo is slightly out of focus.
    I bet they make a good short commute bike, 10-15 miles each way type journey, and probably don't mind the winter weather either.

    Honda will fling repsol stickers at anything they make to try and get people to buy a bike!

    To me honda devalued the ideals of repsol's sponsorship in the big bike championships, repsol schemes were meant to be race replica bikes that are fit for the road but now any bike in the honda range gets a repsol scheme for the chumps to think they are the new Marquez on there lil puddle jumpers! ;)

    Honda don't do them as standard in Repsol! The Repsol are either sticker kits (like the one I rode) or Afternarket Respray.
