Rcv/954 headlight not a bad thing as the 954 headlight actually lit up the road! 04/07 tail unit SP seat cowl 08 chassis does handle well SP1/SP2 ram air scoop Looks like all the favourite bits off the artists favourite Honda's from the last 20 years
My guess is that pic is a mock up based on the SP. Unless of course Honda have decided to forgo a proper press launch and are letting MCN run the show.
I'm with you, S1000RR or wait for new blade, I always hear good things about ZX10R's but there's something about them that I'm not sure about.
But I'm sure a HP4 will hold its money better than a new 15/16, lose as you push it out the door and not a special bike like the HP4. Anyone here rode a HP4 and a true comparison against the blade, real world not the journo spill I'm reading at the moment. As by the time I put the Marchesini wheels, Titanium exhaust , HM dash, Ohlins forks, and with all the other bits I've put on it, insurance will be a pain, against calling them n saying its a std HP4. Be easier on their brain.
That's just a mock up. MCN looking for sales with that 1. Don't doubt the new Blade is coming and possibly later this year.
but the 2015/6 is basically the hp4,but revised+improved,as in the hp4 was the base setting to try the electronics,the 2015- has taken that on,and tweaked it,gives more scope to control the electronics,no need to buy a new ECU to unlock the race features/adjust suspension etc. obviously if it's the different wheels+exhaust your after then yea,go for the hp4..
Remember the 'artist' impression of the new R1? Turned out to be fek all like the real thing in the end!
