I just hope that the riding position is not crutch rocket style but more like the present VFRs. I am looking forward to see it in the showroom and read the moto magazines critiques.

Does it not seem slightly odd that only a week ago MD of Honda Shigeru Takagi was quoted as saying - and I paraphrase here - the bike would be a 'new breed of Honda' and 'epoch making'. Passionate stuff. Strangely enough, just 1 week later studio AND spy shots appear of the bike. Is this some kind of viral marketing campaign from the big H ? I think it just seems a little too much like a coincidence for it to be one. I smell a rat.

I see MCN regularly, and don't think I'm so dumb that I can't work out for myself if something is fact or speculation - in truth they make the same distinctions very clear, and if you can't work that out too then I question whether your opinion is remotely relevant. It makes you look spoon-fed and needy (as if the big debate is editorial standards on a newspaper based on the other side of the Atlantic. Is it?)I don't know... maybe it's a natural development from blog to established news site: you stop mentioning all the sites you leech news from, and tell us things you've garnered for yourself without just looking at other sites.If you're going to moan about websites that provide you with a big chunk of your news, I reckon you should at least read the paper they're based upon.This isn't a moan by the way, it's a 'keep up the good work but be confident in yourself' message. Good blog, up until the point you keep mentioning MCN and then deviate to talk about whether you believe it or not. I see MCN regularly, and don’t think I’m so dumb that I can’t work out for myself if something is fact or speculation – in truth they make the same distinctions very clear, and if you can’t work that out too then I question whether your opinion is remotely relevant.

I don’t know… maybe it’s a natural development from blog to established news site: you stop mentioning all the sites you leech news from, and tell us things you’ve garnered for yourself without just looking at other sites.

If you’re going to moan about websites that provide you with a big chunk of your news, I reckon you should at least read the paper they’re based upon.

This isn’t a moan by the way, it’s a ‘keep up the good work but be confident in yourself’ message.
