Sorry I ain't the best with computers,I tried to add an attachment here but wouldn't work.

The new 06 should kick some ass for sure now.I test rode a 2005 and just loved it.Honda makes solid good quality bikes.

Cheers,

Took a good look at the release myself last night. Definitely a step forward in the aesthetics (except for that FUGLY blue/yellow). As far as performance, I definitely won't be upgrading from my 04 until at least '08 when they are planning an overall change. Minor tweaks here and there in compression, camming, red line, valving, and suspension are not in my opinion "Big News". Almost everyone serious already had that done to their 04-05's anyway.
I would really like to see something similar to Yammi's LE. And Honda calls the pitiful REPSOL a race replica.... makes me gag. One of these days Honda may figure out stickers won't cut it anymore

The Honda website gallery isn't working right to display the photos, but I figured it out...

I don't see any huge aesthetic step forward myself.... Looks more like the 600 to me....

In fact I don't think it looks as good. No good lines with the venting. Shmoo like for sure.

I like the big lower myself. It gives more the impression of a larger bike. And it provides protection to the cases in the event of a drop.

Probably a plot by Honda Corp. To up their profit on the sales of engine side covers. ;)

But in all reality an attempt at weight shaving cause all you guys been bitching so much :D

Doesn't bother me though, My bike will always be the first year bike as introduced to the public at the show I attended..... Sigh, Sweet Memories...... :)
