the V6 honda shows it\'s face (th rumoured Busa killer)

[Guest]

I guess I'm a little more open minded about these things than some but I think it would look a lot better if they would lose the rear bags AND the pods that hold the bags on. The lower rear underfairing needs to be totally redone too. Clean up the front where the extra stuff is tacked on on above/behind the front fender ..... Yeah it is pretty hideous as is but it has potential!

The Nemisis looks good.

Hmmmm, not too bad.
Indeed like an ST1100 but hopefully with a lot more power and lots of other things more up-to-date.
I traded in an ST1100 for my Busa (both considered my 2nd bike at the time) and one of the main reasons was the lack of any power that would really get any adrenaline flowing.
I could see an X-Wing next to my Busa for all the practical reasons in my sometimes quite wet and cold country.

Why would anyone want to trash this bike? If its anywhere close to the way its described I'd bet that 90% of the .org members would love to give it a test ride, and half might put down a deposit. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and to this beholder it looks beautiful.

It looks like the Honda has a trick front suspension. It probably won't beat the H's speed or acceleration, but it just might be the greatest way to move down the road at 120 mph (my standard speed - joke).

Give it a chance.

My guess is that this "bike" is the luxury mule for the engine that will power a new Honda Ultimate Sport Bike a year or two later.

Remember how the Yamaha V-Max used the same engine in a slightly higher state of tune as the Yamaha Ventura luxo cruiser?

Same deal. This isn't Honda's killer bike. But it IS their killer engine in sheep's clothing.

I like the way the bike looks. It might not be for me, but it has a distinct flavor.

I must say though, it's bringing the cycles they set up for movie shots to the streets.

Have to wonder when something like they had in TRON will be available,

Gawd...puleeze. It's a scooter with velvet drapery. A neo Honda Pacific Coast. A sit up put on your propeller beanie and look sillymobile. Pack your checkered sport coat and play bingo. A dart board for Harley owners. A Lambretta for the millenium. Homogenized honey on white bread with margarine. A Shriners tow vehicle. Hojo's inter-motel downtown taxi service. A girl's bike hidden in a circus tent. Al Gore's wettest dream come true.

It sux.

Looks as if the other Two Japanese factories have been infected with alien DNA, first Kawasaki unleashes the alien puke green ZX12 and now we Sigourney Weavers worst nightmare.

Look at the way that suckers eating the front wheel with it's little claws grabbing it from the sides.

Lets hope Suzuki can save the world in the near future.

Looks like a great improvement over the ST1100, Gold Wing, Kawasaki Venture, BMW K1200 LT, etc. I love the way the rear wheel doesn't quite touch the ground. I'd find a place in my garage for it. (First I need to find a garage, however).

I like it. It looks like the touring version of the Nemesis (now, that's a HOT looking bike).

I like the looks of the BugEyeBike, too (ZX-12R/BugEnator/HoovEnator).

I liked the looks of the busa from the first time I saw it.

Some of you finicky BusaBoys are still calling your bike ugly. Shame on you. The definition of what is beautiful is transient at best and is in a constant state of flux. Don't be so closed minded.

Ma, grab our beanies, we're a goin' ridn' on the ol' sillymobile!

 

[OB_defectron]

I wouldn't mind having this one bike too. How can you call this bike a killer? This seems like a funny friend for the Busa, something like a Cadilac near your Viper.

check out the V6 honda at www.motorcycledaily.com, I hope this is not honda's secret weapon that our other members were going on and on and on about, being the busa beater and all that other honda hype?

I believe that is the one some have been talking about? Looks like it comes with a little "excess baggage"!

I think this should have been titled:
The V6 honda shows it's UGLY face (the rumored Busa wannabe)

 

[OB_Aussie]

That is one FAT ugly big scooter!!!
Aussie (just what I reckon anyway!)

Pretty unimpressive. It looks like a longitudinally-mounted V-6...can't tell for sure, but that definitely would put it in the tourer category, not in the sport category. A transverse-mounted engine would be the way to go--really the only way to go--for a V-6 ultimate sport bike. Honda already has a 1500cc longitudinally-mounted six. It's called the Gold Wing.
