Not a massive up grade from this years in fact i prefer mine .+ how much if you cream that front fairing.
That front end looks like an aprilia rs125. A little bit cheap looking? I'm sure it's great in the flesh though
I wont be trading up . Im trying to find how much extra they are gonna charge for the electronics . I didnt see ABS on that bike thou
Love the HRC paint Love the dash :eyebrows: like the rear end Hate the front :bad: Are those wheels going to be STD they look nice Dont think I will be swapping my 2010 HRC for this one (time to spend more money on it YAY)
I am with you fella.. Spend more on what i got and will probably still be less than what i would loose on a trade in
It looks like they nicked the tail unit from a Gixxer and the dash from a Ducati. It may grow on me but I'm not impressed enough to want to upgrade, based off those initial shots.
I'm keeping mine till it's at least 2 years old then I might think about changing. Can always fit bazzaz TC if you want traction control and upgrade the forks with a decent cartridge kit and I bet there won't be much between them.
The fram and swing arm look unchanged Maybe they have used different thickness castings etc to adjust stiffness but it looks identical I would expect the shock to Updated now The engine casings look the same so any changed will be minor internal updates. Looks like it's more or less the same bike with a few Tweeks mainly being suspension and bodywork Will be interesting to see what the TC is like. I doubt it will be as advanced as the aprilia sombre than likely on lar with Kawasaki and BMW systems.
I see they still want to make it hard to remove the pillion pegs, buggers! I'm sure it'll be good, although my 2010 blade is hardly bad Not sure how that front end would look in repsol schemes though, kinda getting away from the gp bikes looks isn't it? I reckon fake personally..... Hope
Its noway fake.. it would be sooo expensive to create that, especially the dash. Why bother? I do feel a little depressed as i do want the latest toys, and i just spend a shed load on parts for my 2011. But hopefully, they should all transfer to the new bike and maybe in a year or so after the teething problems with the illusive TC have been ironed out, i might trade up. But NOT on those colours.. i think Black would be a whole lot better.
Waiting for the Vote to come in from the Shop on my 07 that meet a Deer at 40mph. If I hear that the Rims & Forks got bent, I'm off to a 2012 or 2013. Depends when they offer a Red & Black one. I like the tweeks that were done on this new one. Curious on what it will Dyno out at. S
