I hadn't seen it from the front, it looked pretty decent from the side.

That headlight reminds me of a whale tail or the smoke stack on a carnival cruise ship.

I didn't like the headlight area when I first saw it, but liked the rest of it. Nice to see it in another colour, the front is growing on me...

I initially saw it and said, oh no no no...The front head light section looks like the storm trooper helmet in StarWars. After viewing it a bit, I now am OK with the cosmetics of the fairing. I think it will stand out on the street. I'm sick of all the same old, same old you see every day. It is Different....

I dig it. Looks like one of the Centurions from the new Battlestar Galactica series.



BTW, that chick looks like Rupaul.

The design has been growing on me. The rear wheel looks fantastic to me if it wasn't covered by an ugly muffler. Until I see it in person at the IMS show that is my complaint and is the same for most Japanese bikes. It seems they can't design an exhaust system that works and looks good.

I'm a 99 VFR owner and it didn't go my direction for looks but much of Honda's
appeal is its function and reliability.

They shouldn't have used a model smaller than a 10 year old boy. The thing looks ugly and huge.

I like it.

I don't like the "hot chicks sell bikes" motif. Maybe they do, but not to me. If she were RIDING the bike, it still would not make me want to buy the bike, but it would make me want to date her.

" It seems they can't design an exhaust system that works and looks good"

I agree, and I would extend those thoughts to the fairing, headlight, tail section and fuel tank on this bike.

Looks to me.
Even though I've owned a few Honda's I'm not a Honda fan.
