REALLY not sure about this... Thought it might be a similar leap from the 1000RR7-RR8, but I got that straight away. Don't think I'll be won over by this re-design, though!
It's not awful but the side view of the tip of nose cone looks like its hit a brick wall and flattened it
I like it - (that's not a good sign) - actually think the front end looks dated on the current model as hasn't changed much since Circa 2005. Sure it'll be one we come to go fond of. I remember loving the 08 blade yet it got slated? And mr Honda shifted a few of those...
After having a second look, I reckon it looks like a Chinese/Korean copy of a Panigale. Perhaps they should've gone with narrower lights, more akin to the Pani? Would look so much better, I think.
The bars seem a tad high to me. Like the 600f And I'm sure the nose cone reminds me of something... Yep. There it is.
Yeah, definitely similar but the lights change the whole look, imo. Slimmer lights would make the overall look closer to the RC213V and look more modern. They look a bit too chunky to me, a bit more like: to pinch wedgie's pic from the Diavel thread!
Mmmmm, First impression was it looks a bit cheap and Chinese, especially in the HRC colours, I assume Honda commissioned Fez to come up with that. Second impression was ok it’s different, and as you get older you don’t like change so much, but did I think that when I first got sight of the Panigale. No I didn’t I thought it looked absolutely fantastic. I have been back for a third look and still don’t have an opinion either way other then the thought that if Honda do the same to the blade would it stop me buying one, probably not if I stay loyal but I am already leaning towards the Italians or the Germans for next spring anyway. So, The Jurys away on a cigarette break at the moment.
yes thats my design that i sent to honda a few months back, i guess they didnt like the white wheels i gave it though i dont think it looks bad but it just doesnt look sporty enough for me
Mmmmmmm looks like the fairings have gone from being skimpy with all the engine hanging out back to the 03 cbr600rr or 04-05 cbr1000rr fuller fairings. Ill have a look at NEC need to see it in the flesh . Well beginning of day might be yuk 10 pints ill love anything
Not too bad, like the Repsol.... then again i would like Mr Abu Hamza if he was painted in Repsol !!! And the HRC is not bad.... lets wait and see when its out.
