I have to agree. even though it's a great bike, and everyone I talk to loves it, Honda doesn't race it, and therefore, probably won't pour too much money into engineering on it. Maybe they'll change up plastics or headlights, but their inline-4 1000cc is their bread and butter. Sportbikes have always been in a horsepower war, and the twins can't compete in the 14k rpms horsepower peaks.

It's the same with my Superhawk. I love it, and it would be great if they'd update the engine and fairings, to make it a bit more modern, but at least it's easier to sell when it's the current body style - mines a 1998, but looks like an 05
