You're not expecting to see any of these new Honda's on the dealers showroom floor tomorrow, are you?
LOL...that's why I said "I can't wait for the Motorcycle Show". I would be amazed if any dealers (at least in the midwest) would have any of the 2013s for at least a few months.

Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
Had to get away to see what we could find
Hope the days that lie ahead
Bring us back to where they've led
Listen not to what's been said to you
Everyone has their opinions, so this is mine, and not any prediction of market reception or whatever. For me, this release was like waking up on Christmas morning. Honda answered every gripe I had about their (American) line up. I've never been a "fanboy" of anything, but this is as close as I've been. Well done, Honda, well done.

I like the 500's. Although, I will be keeping my 250 because it has enough power for me and I like its lower price, better gas mileage, and lower weight.
The CB1100 is a nice looking bike. It sits much like my sportster did but with a little higher seat. Because it has a 4 it will be nice and smooth on the highway. If I was looking at a cruiser I would buy this bike. The price will be comparable to a lot of cruiser and be so much smoother, although not get the gas mileage of the twins. Its funny that they have it in the sport section because I don't see much difference between the CB1100 and the Shadow RS except for 2 more pistons, they are both a more standard sitting cruiser, or sportier cruiser. Its funny how Honda now has a bit of the old and the new. They first had cruiser type bikes with 4s but they went to twins because thats what the American cruiser world likes (Because Harley does so well and has set a precedence for cruisers in this country). Now they have both.
The Gold Wing shocked me. They designed it based on the Harley Road Glide, granted of course it looks much better than the ugly Road Glide but the design is almost exactly the same. It does have much smoother lines than the Road Glide.
As far as the 600rr, I like the previous body style better. Not sure about all the updates on the bike, Im sure its much better, but if I were to get one I probably wouldn't be able to notice the differences and so I would get the older one.

I couldn't agree with you more. Honda has made their lineup much more appealing to me personally with their 500 series. Where they had no middling sports bike before, now they have two. I really like the looks of the new GoldWing, CBR600RR, and CB1100 as well.
