I like it!
It's just a paint job.  I doubt anyone will be putting ABS on a cutting edge rice rocket any time soon.

Just read something about that the other day.  The journos that rode it supposedly couldn't feel anything different and that the threshold for ABS activation was really high. If it didn't weigh a ton and you could turn it off or on I think it'd be pretty cool.

Yeah, but what about linked ABS?

I count 6 different font styles on the front of the bike. Nope, no photochop here...
p.s. it will have an underengine pipe like the 1000, not under seat like the current 600.

Man you sure like popcorn.

It's already been reviewed in the European press (TWO, August). Remember Honda's press release of a few years ago? By 2010, IIRC, every road bike they make will be some variant of ABS.......... Let the bitching begin

Old Bill was a crazy one.  Eventually shot and killed by the cops.

I have that same generator frame and tank that makes up the tail section.
