Was reading my new cycle world a couple of days ago...and i'm impressed with Honda's new chopper...looks like they are the only company who know how to build and comfortable chopper...soft tail 4 inches of travel front and rear...feul injected 1300 just enough usable power...I'm not big on buying imports but this chopper looks good to...I could own this one. I like this color combo.  | ||

When my brother-in-law wants a new truck he heads over to the chevy dealer and when he wants a bike he goes to the Honda store. This bike will appeal to those type of people. I think it has a a couple of styling miscues and the fact that the chopper craze is over will limit their total sales to less than anticipated. Maybe if I saw it up close. But then again my eyes are still hurting from looking at the DN-01. | ||

Get ready to be flamed. This is on another thread elsewhere. I like to too. They nailed my favorite chopper style, reminds me of Jesse James stuff with the high headstock and lots of air over the engine. Good looking motorcycle. | ||

I don't know. To me it looks unfinished. Maybe its the dull paint looking like primer? | ||

The engine looks like plastic to me. The other side has some ugly covers to hide misc. | ||

Bobbers Rule! My feelings will change as I evolve.... | ||

I think it's awful. I'd take the DN-01 over this thing any day, although I'd still rather own neither. I guess as long as these things have fans the companies will continue to churn them out. | ||

Honda did an excellent job of taking derivative styling and executing it well, as they normally do. They are are company of execution, not innovation in my mind. | ||

just puked a little in my mouth | ||

The basic design is passable. The aftermarket will fix the rest. I'm sure they will sell some. | ||
| Vanvideo |
I'll bet they'll sell more than "some." My guess is, they'll sell more of these than Yamaha sells Raiders and Harley sells Rockers. Just a feeling. | ||

Except the Rocker is a bike I would actually like to own. | ||

If it is cheap enuf I might get one. anybody know the price point. | ||
| Vanvideo |
I've heard between $11,000 - 13,000. But Honda has yet to release a price. If you call your local Honda shop, they might be accepting deposits, so they'd know a price. Maybe. | ||

>>If it is cheap enuf I might get one.<< I have reported this potential infringement to the style police. They stand ready to beat you to your senses with an S&S catalog. | ||

Barker can wear anything. The style police have given up. | ||

It doesn't look too comfortable to ride. It seems like your body would be in an elongated C shape. I just don't get that. The bike looks alright though - the flat paint complements the shiny chrome. | ||

The bike looks alright though - the flat paint complements the shiny covered plastic parts. there fixed it for you. no actual chrome was hurt during the building of that bike  | ||

Seeing as I have a Uly and a KLX250 - I don't really recognize chrome very well. I guess I'm "chrome-ignorant", which is fine by me!  | ||

I read an interview with Jesse James and it talked about his famous red Honda cafe racer he made but it also talked of 2 other bikes that he built for them. One was a chopper the other was more of a standard cruiser. He said they were looking for ideas for future models and wanted test subjects to show. This must be a direct result of the chopper and it also explains why this showed up so late. Honda must take their sweet time getting bikes out because that was quite sometime ago. I will wait until I see it next weekend in MN at the IMS to decide if I like it but I too feel it is about 5 years too late. | ||
| Reepicheep |
How do you like that KLX 250? Looks like a nice little playbike. | ||
| Bigblock |
13,000!?!? And those wheels and motor... FUGLY! Buy American! | ||

Paul, It's just like quitting smoking. Wait a few minutes, have a drink of water, and the craving will go away. | ||

IF I were into that style of motorcycle (and I'm NOT), I'd go for the Star Raider over that thing. |
