    Pic of the one-off SuperSic tribute CBR1000RR that will be auctioned for Marco Simoncelli Foundation...

    Wow... Just wow. Exclusive as it is, there's bound to be Chinese copies on eBay for £200 in a few weeks. Could be tempting...

    I don't like it to be honest, it's very plain and doesnt really look like much effort has gone into it as a tribute

    It's quite plain and boring just like he was :confused:

    The idea behind it is good but i'd like to see a bit more of his personality in the bike.

    Probably not the best pic to show off a special, would be interesting to see if they have incorporated some finer detail into it or is it just a white blade with a bit of red and some 58 decals added ??

    I don't agree that it's plain and boring - it's got his trademark style all over it but in a way that really suits the Blade, I think. Really strong 58 branding but in an understated way rather than garish, which makes it all the more powerful, imo. Having a Gresini rep isn't Marco-specific and wouldn't stand out as being a tribute.

    Either way, it's 1000x better than the standard colour schemes that Honda have released for the '12!

    It may just be me not getting it, seems like a white bike with his number on it.
    It just seems like it has been thrown together it a hurry with not much effort put into the design but maybe I'm missing something.
