    It's very sharp and pointy ain't it!? I actually don't mind the looks too much - reminds me a little of the RC8. But that exhaust looks very familiar.....

    Doesn't do anything for me , but I did have a laugh at this quote

    " The bike features Honda’s own incredible ABS system with an added feature by the designers called PEBS – or Predictive Emergency Braking System."

    Don't think I like the sound of the predictive part, just taking more control away from the rider

    Not keen at all


    I have this predictive braking on my car and on a few occasions it has decided I'm too close overtaking a parked car and tried an emergency stop nearly sliding me into a car parked on oposite kurb! This feature is now disconnected!

    Exactly, you have to plan your overtake half a mile down the road.

    Imagine trying to filter in heavy traffic on the bike (no thanks)

    Jesus, just read that.
    Vibrating handlebars if you are giving it some on the twisties by the sounds of it.
    That will make the ride more comfortable.

    I can guarantee the guy that invented the Vibrating handle bars has never ridden a bike. Pillock.
