I liked it better than the cbr1000rr but it lacks about 30 or 40 hp...fast enough to get you into trouble but not fast enough to get you out if you get my meaning...zp...

30 or 40 hp don't make a lot of difference when your going backwards through the pearly gates on fire :o :lol:

people that believe there are actually pearly gates should know that the lord has a master plan and each name is called when HIS will is done...we're just along for the ride (pun intended)...that being said nothing so focuses the mind like a romp through the backroads at an elevated rate of speed, pushing that envelope just a titch...zp...

When the senior design engineer of Honda Motorcycles died he went to Heaven. At the pearly gates St Peter said to him that he had been a very important person during his time on earth and that he could if he wanted spend some time with God himself.
Just wanting to mull over design concepts he accepted the offer and was taken to meet God.
After the formal meet and greet and minor discussions Tadao Baba set to to talk about the design of woman saying to God, saying that he liked the concept and some features but over all it lacked finesse.

Tadao Baba said that the quality control was not good as the front end of each was different with some sticking out more than others so had poor tolerancing.
Each came with a lot of chatter he had designed this out of each Honda, Woman he said seemed to have minds of their own and were sometimes difficult to control.
Also the positioning of some of the features was poor such as the inlet and the exhaust were so close together that it was positively dangerous.
God said that he had taken on board the thoughts of Tadao Baba but walked over to the massive heavenly computer, after a few moments of button pressing God said to Tadao Baba.
“I have all the data hear in front of me which proves that the general public have chosen what they think is best and without and fear of contradiction there are far more people riding my design than yours.

Not a bad bit of depreciation that Tim. $200 loss in 3 years isn't something to be sniffed at mate. Can't complain at that.

how many of the fellas riding god's design can say that after 3 years they got rid of her and only lost $200...of course they could argue that the money lost was worth it against the heavy losses that would have incurred had they kept them...zing of marital bliss...
