Might be a derby.
I'm excited to see if this concept bike finally shows up in the showroom.  [bacon]

I love it. I'm surprised they didn't bring it out yet.

Get the low pipes if you buy.

The pics and renderings of the high pipes are ridonkulous.  [roll]

The thigh burner? Yeah.

I've been hoping they'd pull the trigger on this since the concept drawings came out way back when. I could see myself getting one if the price weren't horrendous. Seems like a pretty sweet "blank canvas" on which to mod.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Rather have a Duc.......now a concept that should be made is
The Honda NAS!!!! [thumbsup]
My people skills are just fine.
It's my tolerance to idiots that needs work.

  Very cool!     :)

  I'm passing on buying the current street fighter because of the expanding fuel tank, lets see who will get my money for a naked super bike in the coming year or so.

BMW saw the success of the Diavel, even though BMW concept came first, and decided to go production.  [clap]
Maybe it will bring down the price of the Diavel.

I think, V-Rod/StreeRod, Diavel, LoRider, VMax all would compete in this category.

Wow... that is really cool.  I love it.

I wasn't familiar with the NAS. I googled it, was blown away at how cool that thing looks.
But I'm more of a throw back and would rather see Honda make the CB1100 F.


The guzzi is cool as well.

I'd rather do this.

The Griso is a nice moto (used to have a 2007). The SE model made it that much better.  [thumbsup]

Plus, Guzzis sound fantastic with a pipe...BMWs sound like a wet fart.  [coffee]

I vividly remember the sound and feel of HDs, Ducs, Geese, Limeys and Airheads thundering down the front straight at Daytona through the early '80s in the heyday of BOTT racing.  None of those bikes, including the airheads, sounded like a wet fart.  Pull the suppressor out of the Staintunes on my '81 R100 and I promise it'll rock any gearheads soul. Have they ruined that somehow with the oilhead?

Nope, I don't care for the high pipe on the BMW and yep, the Griso is sweet to my eye.

Wet fart is probably a bit dramatic I admit.  [laugh] But, the BMWs I've heard with pipes don't sound all that great. Nowhere near as nice as a Duc or Guzzi.

Fair enough ... I think another of those situations where *timing* is everything  8)
