I wonder if it will be eligible for the Daytona Sport Bike class? Also, how'd you like that guy's riding out fit? Boots, gloves, chinos and a sweatshirt!

Unfortunately, it's a Honda which means yes, they can and will.

It looks like they are hiring the drop-outs from the "I wanna work for BMW but my sketches are too ugly even for them" school of design.

well looks like they were somewhat faithful to the concept. still disgusting, looks like three different bikes smashed together (nose, tank, and tail DO not match) and at least kawi gets a reprieve for not having the ugliest stock exhaust anymore
