Man after looking into this bike fully.. I'd like to ride one
here's some specs;


1832cc v6
fuel injected
sohc 2v per cylinder
six 32mm throttlebody's
74mm bore x 71mm stroke
9.8:1 compression
computer controlled digital ignition with three deminsional mapping
hmm.. bet this things impossible for your average joe to change the map on


Shaft Driven 5 speed transmission



180/55/17 rear tire
not too impressed w/that.. im sure they kept it that size for handling but i think they should have went cropper with this thing, had like a 210 rear tire at least.


6-into-2 exhaust
basically just an unequal dual exhaust setup off of a v6.. equal or balance pipes would of been alot more effeciant imo but it'd look like crap.. at least the exhaust looks really nice.


unit pro-link rear suspension
not much needs to be said here.. it's inspired by the RC211V which anyone into sportbikes knows is one bad motherfu.....
-
front trailing-link fork
this setup is just plain complicated.. to really get the idea here you need to look at the pics an see how it's setup. there's two upper shocks on each side, one houses the main spring, the other a secondary spring and damper. the whole assembly is made on kind of a rear pivot point with the wheel in the rear, a sort of link in the center, an the main forks in the front. rather unique looking and gives the bike 3.9 inches of suspension travel in the front.


digital speedo/gauge readout on the tank in bright blue.. looks awesome


braking setup
with three piston, dual 330mm rotors up front and two piston caliper, 336mm rotors out back this bike has the biggest rotors on any honda production bike in history. it also has the linked brake system (LBS) like the Blackbird has.. when you apply the brakes it apply's pressure on the front as well as rear at the same time like a car would do instead of the traditional front an rear being seperate. this setup makes the bike actually 'dive' twards the ground.


wheelbase; 68.9 inches
seat height; 27.2 inches
lbs; 811 - dry weight
fuel capacity; 6.1 gallons
now.. gasoline weighs in just at 6.3lbs a gallon and i dont know many ppl who are able to ride their bike on empty. so add another 38.43lbs to the overall weight of this bike an you have a fueled up ready to ride beast


available colors are;
cherry red
double clear coat black
and illusion blue
personally, the blue is nothing short of awesome


and the price on this bad boy?
$27,699

Looking over the specs it does seem impressive...

I wonder what sort of niche market they are striving for?

iono.. personally i think they should of shot for the chopper market
after all it has the basic chopper look to it. it'd be sweet if someone comes out with a wide tire kit for it, that is if t he swingarm will allow.. the Victory Hammer has a 250 rear tire.. you should see the thing. i was lookin at pics of them on the net an wasent impressed in the slightest but me an a friend went up to the dealer in mtta and wow.. that bike is flippin awesome

They had one for display(sale?) in Marietta.

[Jay]

uhm, the honda cycle shop in mtta?

[RobbieNelson]

The site says its a flat(horizontally opposed) 6... not a V6.

[Jay]
