    2010 Honda CB1100 Std & Cafe Concept

    Though I've never really been a Kawi fan, this model was indeed particularly drool-worthy. The father of a close friend of my son's has one of these in his garage which he's owned since new. He tells me that he rides it once or twice a year, and has only put about 8,000 miles on it. (What a...

    Rumors of a Honda Supersport apparently false

    Not for this one - not just yet anyway. I've no plans to trade the FJR until at least 2012, and I'd like to see this new V4 and dual-clutch transmission on the road for at least 2 years before taking that leap (I'll let the early adopters have all the fun...). That said, I'm still looking for...

    Rumors of a Honda Supersport apparently false

    It looks as though this bike will be revealed at the Tokyo Motorcycle Show, Oct. 24th, as the VFR1200F. Copy from an article posted today on the Motorcycle USA website: "Honda is saving the details for Tokyo, but here’s what it has said about the new VFR. First, Honda confirms it is a...

    iPhone on the FJR

    My immediate thoughts go to the RAM Aqua Box (Link!) which would thus allow you many mounting options, but I'm not sure if the Aqua Box's flexible front will play nice with the iPhone's touchscreen. I've heard conflicting reports in this regard. Otter Box also makes a nice waterproof enclosure...

    2010 Honda CB1100 Std & Cafe Concept

    My wife just said that if I can get my hands on either of those bikes, she'll give her full approval to the purchase. Do you hear that Honda..?! That's the sound of my wife handing me a blank check... :lol:

    2010 Honda CB1100 Std & Cafe Concept

    What is it with bike manufacturers and their infatuation with Europe..?? Can't we get some variety in this country? :angry: If this bike was available in the US (particularly the cafe concept), I'd have one in my garage. No question! 2010 Honda CB1100 Standard 2010 Honda CB1100 Cafe...

    Recall or class action suit

    Based on this comment below, it appears he's already played the "Lemon Law" hand and has no other option but to file suit: Personally, I'd forget taking the bike back to another dealer and take it to a first-rate suspension shop (the local analog to GP Suspension; whomever that may be...). If...

    NWS: Save the ****s

    Though this Public Service Announcement (PSA) likely falls into the NWS category, I don't think it qualifies as either a Joke or Fun Stuff. But it definitely gets its message across...! Save the ****s Oh, and by the way, I'm moving to Canada... :P

    getting the bike back from having four recalls done

    Uh, Patriot, you may want to check that Bin-O-Facts your ownself... ;) There was no TPS recall for Gen II bikes. And the ECU replacement program for the altitude sickness issue only affected some of the '06 bikes - not all (though it did affect all '07 bikes). Motorcop, if you've had your...
