I don't know why it didn't sell, it was only $7,800. It got discontinued and now, next year, they have it coming back with a fairing and bags, but not naked. Go figure.

Everything about it is perfect. Nice to see the other folks playing catch up. I still prefer my Benelli Cafe Racer. Everything about it is perfect. Nice to see the other folks playing catch up.

I guess it is better than waiting TEN tears like they did with the NT700. They release a bike with shaft drive, optional hard luggage and then fit a 4.8 gal. gas tank? I still say Honda has lost their way and whoever is head of product development should be canned immediately. Great fit, finish and reliability will only get you so far. Motorcycles are about excitement, they aren't appliances. Why does Honda wait until 2011 to give us what Europe got in 2008? I guess it is better than waiting TEN tears like they did with the NT700.

I like the Honda very much (looks better than the Z1000 IMHO), and I have always been a fan of the 12R. (BTW, that is probably the "low" seat option for those worried about how the 1200R will treat your "moon units"). I've seen pics of the F800 with different color schemes, and it looks much better than the hideousness pictured above. The new Tuono, while totally awesome, is way beyond my skill level and just beyond my pain threshold with regard to how much I am willing to pay for something with two wheels and no doors. My favorite naked remains the Monster 1100, though. Nice to see the OEMs sending some nice nakeds this way.

What! Somebody give Gabe a raise so he can buy better drugs, or at least a book on 1970s motorcycling history! “Of course, BMW kind of invented the big, powerful, torquey naked standard, or at least is best known for building big, powerful roadburners since David Robb was in diapers.”
