    So honda has dropped its own brand of ABS, about time. But introduced its own brand of throttle by wire. So now instead of not being able to stop, the problem will be getting it to go.

    A lesson for BMW in how to make a subframe frame - not like the SRR that looks like it has two pieces of box section steel tubing bent and welded together, like it was made in a backstreet workshop in Mogadishu [​IMG]

    I did not read it anywhere.

    I think even the outgoing Blade has a nicer crafted subframe than the SRR seen here below:

    .....never mind the new 2017 model Blade....

    I think you have proven your point there Mattie. The BMW sub frame does look shite

    Yes agreed the Subframe is better than the Bmw, but Honda have had since 2008 to think about it, as the swing arm, frame, main engine design and many other components are the same, oh now, they have shaved off 300g off the frame and a nano off the swing arm to call it different !!

    Doesn't look like Honda have done much, look how much the Fireblade changed from 92 to 2001, completely remodelled.
