Great Photo's Tony, Brilliant, Can't wait to get down for a look Myself! Shame You have such a Biased View of Honda? Apples for Apples! I have ridden the New CB500X (Single Disc) and was Amazed at the Fantastic Brakes it has!!! Anyway thanks for sharing!

 

[bikerbob]

Great pics Tony. Love the airbags, especially the first set 5555. BTW did you see the Z800 Kawasaki? I thought that they were going to introduce at the motor show.

Good job, Tony. It doesn't look like you missed much. I wasn't aware some of these models (motorcycles that is) are even out there. I do agree with Ian though (which is unusual :wink. In my mind, the brakes are one of the most impressive items on the bike. As for your comment " New Honda 500X. Buy it if you're too short or can't afford a Versys :wink: ". I will bet that this year, as long as production numbers are high enough, the Honda 500 series will outsell everything else pictured in your post. Regardless of whether one can afford a Versys or not. :thumbup:

I'm sure you're right regarding Honda sales and I'm sorry if I caused offense. My comment about the single disc was directed at the CBR500 "sport bike". Sure it's dressed up in flashy fairings, but would anyone really thrash it around a track with only a single disc up front? That's something I'd like to see!

?????? Strange. Do you know when it is coming?

No offense taken or implied, Tony. Just adding my own thoughts. I doubt I would consider one as a track bike anyway. Although, with no tracks up here I don't usually give that much consideration.

Sorry, Kawasaki, Thailand has no idea if/when the Z800 will be sold in Thailand. Reckon that's a decision that will be made in Japan. The Z1000 is selling well here. Perhaps they don't want to undercut Z1000 sales by offering the Z800. That's just a guess mind you

Yes, that would make sense.
