Im quite a fan of that Hanspree green and white colours. Fancied the CBR6 in it but that ^ is a much better looking bike. Shame about the fuel delivery problems

What are what Nick? Its a ride by wire throttle and thus they said its not very smooth. Might be sorted with a PCIII

A pretty looking bike indeed, until you take a peek at it's rear end.

Think i'd rather see Jade Goody's ar$e than that, it's nearly as bad as the BB king thing :pukel:

Its just the cans and aftermarket options are available. At least you could get away with that Tail Tidy rather than a snow shovel like so many other bikes seem to have

I saw one at the donnington GP and I got to say the back end looks a LOT better in person. Its a damn fine looking bike.

Rob, I havnt heard anything about the FI being bad or jerky, from what I have read it sounds like the FI is actually pretty good. I may be wrong though. ha ha.

I like the paint scheme matched drive :)
does look rather cool, not convinced about the colours but I've seen worse.
nice looking bike though.

That's just horrible... Someone'll make a nice shiver some day, but that's not it. Why is it wearing a hat?

that looks rank, also why has the owner stuck "Specialised" logos from the cycling world on it ?

Thats a good looking bike, not keen on the back veiw though. I like the look of the new CB1000R

I like it... although personally I'd have gone with a different colour. The ar$e end isn't the best looking out there, but that could be changed.

I agree except for two bits. The back wheel is awful and the exhaust which is... Awful.

Neither of which you will see when riding :smt019:mrgreen:, i think it would look odd with an sv styleee long can.

I quite like the shiver, I had a sit on one last weekend- it has a really comfortable seat on it. I only got one leg onto the peg, but it seemed fairly accommodating for 6'2"ers. I preferred the Tuono though.. unfortunately, neither will fit round the side of our house unless narrower bars are put on :(

True... Could have made it a little less... like it is. Whats wrong with bare pipes. Thats guessing thats all its covering like... no doubt it looks like a plumbers nightmare under there. :(

Still though most bikes pass the Euro 3 restrictions with none of that excessive crap on, why cant these? :confused:

Ok maybe not long but compared to the pipe on that CB1000R an sv can is is long!!

I dunno, look how long that stainless sheat is along the bottom of the CB. man its typical of honda to make a nice bike and spoil it with the last few bits. Lose the exhaust an put a nice pair of 5+ spoker wheels on and woot NICE!

Because its their bike and they can put whatever the f**k they want on it.

I hope you don't have any dogs... if you have and you are trying to feed them bikes like this one then I suggest you seek mental help! :smt040

+1 for me.

Eye of the beholder and that, but jeez it hurts my peepers to look at it. It's as if they hooked the engine block up to an enormous electro magnet, switched it on and let random metallic objects stick to it. :rolleyes::p:)

I was filtering about with one on the way into work today, they look much nicer face to face. Never got a chance to ask the bloke what it was like to ride.
