Honda did it again

Honda couldn't help themselves and copied the new 14 HD hard bags, but put them up front to air out the dirty laundry easier.  :nixweiss:

With those big/huge twin radiators and the associated faring covering them both, 2K could almost use this picture as his avatar... :huepfenlol2:

Still, would be an interesting ride....

I test rode a FB6, no cruise and no abs and no highway pegs.
The dash/cockpit or whatever it's called looked right out of the 90's with everything plastic.
Not for me.

This new one, maybe with ABS and cruise and pegs and a set of Fullsac baffles.
Anyway, you can't argue with the color.

I'll bet the new twin radiators don't spew coolant!   ;)   :2vrolijk_21:

Hmmm....  An ugly bike that goes and goes and goes - or - a water head that leaks coolant, eats lifters, has a malfunctioning hydraulic clutch (some built with the wrong pieces), compensators that you replace with every oil change, and so on...but looks good!   :nixweiss:

All that stuff is considered "CHARACTER".  ;D

The Honda just does nothing for my soul -- it might go and go and go but I don't think it could ever "move" me the way my Harley's do.

 Just one mans' opinion...

It might run great... but it's SO FAR BEYOND FUGLY I could never bring myself to own one. It's as if they TRIED to make it as ugly as they possibly could. I just don't get metric styling.. nor Victory styling, either.
