So. Basically new bodywork, wheels and perhaps another two horsepower due to the new ECU and this is supposed to be Honda's response? New colors for the CBR1000RR?
I like the new 600, but I feel that the aesthetics are more of a revision of the 2003-2006 600rr, not the ’07 to ’12 600rr, they lost the multi layered look of the current bike. I’m assuming this was for cost savings, both at time of production and when the bike is inevitably thrown down the road.
BORING!! HEAVY! is how I see the CBR500. Its like a Suzuki Bandit to me for the year 2013.
The CBR600RR looks dull too. Got to admit Kawasaki and Suzuki are the ones to get for exciting looks and. I rather get the Ninja 300 over the CBR500 cause that thing is 428 pds full of fuel and oil.
I have to admit the CBR250R is still the best bike Honda has come up with in 3 years. Everything is plain jane.

425lb for a multi cylinder, inexpensive bike is actually quite light. The $11.5k 600RR weighs 410lb.
I like the new 600rr, I think they didn't go far enough back to what the F4i was. The R6 is the most edgy 600, why try to go there? Honda needs to get back to the best "real world" 600 on the market. The repli-racer thing is played out and the factory's commitment (lack of..) to it is the proof.
The new 600 looks like ass, but i like the 500. I also like that new Goldwing cruiser looking thing. That's a Japanese cruiser/tourer. Completely original, not just and HD knock off like every other Japanese cruiser.

I just love how Honda continues to blatantly lie about "Mass Centralization" and continues to use it as PR material on their bikes like the 600rr with a 18 lbs exhaust (plus all the addition weight for piping to route it there...) at the highest point and the furthest distance from the central mass of the bike.
Have they actually seen a bike that actually have a mass centralization design?
