New Honda V-Four 800 revealed

Looks like it's built for Pedrosa and/or the other oompa-loompas at the chocolate factory. They also seem to have forgotten most of the fairing.

I think it's telling that it's about a second slower than the Ducati in preseason tests.

We'll see.

I'm guessing it's still loud too

I was talking with some other racers earlier this season about what to do about number plates on the ever shrinking tail sections, I know that the racing org I race with (CCS) is threatening that we may soon go back to mounting an actual number plate on the sides of the bikes again!

I had suggested why not utilize a number plate of some type on the rear fender or even mounted to the swingarm in some way. Seeing this bike with it like this makes it a bit more visual for me now and seems like it would work.

This is an issue with our Daytona also. I think they will leave it alone and rely on transponders more heavily. That's just my opinion.

hey mike the first thought I had about the new bike was the numbers were actually easy to read on the rear hugger.

Hmm, oddly enough I think the tiny tail section looks good

I don't think any of us are talking about it asthetically, it's just how you make the race numbers readable for the race officials.
