im gonna get burned buying a 2012 in sept arent i haha owell
I did the same thing and have no regrets whatsoever because of the good deal I got. Would have gotten a Daytona 675R if I had to pay anything close to MSRP for a CBR, which will be the case IF there is a completely new CBR600RR for 2013.

I'm thinking I'll hold to it for a while, don't want to be like the crowd that cries for 250/400 RRs.
mmm, maybe 5 or 10 years down the road they'll cry for the 600s too?
Damn, it will really suck if all there is left to do trackdays is either a full blown literbike or a dinky 500cc 50hp bike...
If the triple engine is indeed meant for a SuperSport, then Yamaha wouldn't leave the supersport market, the'd be replacing the R6 with a three cylinder SuperSport. Discontinuing the CBR 600RR without a replacement would mean Honda gave up on the supersport market.
I'll find out more information from my friend about it tomorrow. Honda has done alot of things in the past, especially in their offerings of automobiles. No flagship sports car... They had the exceptional s2000's and NSX, which needed redesigns, but instead they resort to hybrid fwd "sports cars" and a goofy new NSX with three electric motors (that's alot of weight).
I'm still hoping that maybe they have a super sport offering, but from what I know now. It's dismal I fear, but as stated earlier, if 600's are no longer profitable to justify investing in, then they gotta go... And we have to welcome these 50 horsepower machines possibly hybrid knowing how silly Honda has been with their cars recently lol.
well the nsx was never really a "nimble" car to say the least, hybrid technology the way their intending will in theory give it astonishing amounts of torque, the things 0-60 will be amazing
usually when you design something like that and in the price bracket it will be in, it should only suffer minor weight disadvantages, but we all forget that nissan already showed the world that they can design a car to be a fat pig compared to the competition and still shoot through the turns at incredible speeds and bring cars double or triple its price to their knees
as for the motorcycles, the more i see things progressing the more im starting to agree that the 600's time might come to an end soon...i love my bike, id never get rid of it i dont think, but i see people are either buying liter bikes or something to putt around in
the middle tends to come up short handed...its only a matter of time till companies notice and start to taper them off..its already beginning now
honda brought a great contender into the 250cc ring, delt kawi some major punches, kawi retaliated by pooping out the 300cc talkin all kinds of ****...so whats honda do? bang out a 500cc series bike

I'm anxious, but I forgot to mention we may very well be getting this bike in the states. If so, i'm about to sauce...
What a lovely machine and the Triumph Bonneville of the Honda Motorcycles in my honest interpretation. From the polished fenders to the gorgeous sculpting of the tank that is accompanied with supportive but gracefully flowing seat, I don't see how this could not sale to some of us 20 year olds that love the nostalgia of this motorcycle. What a beautiful machine!
72 horsepower and in likelihood the equivalent in torque, this would be one quick motorcycle...

In the 70's and 80's I could not wait for technology to grow and we can have super sexy bikes. We got them in the 90's and systematically got sexy'RR as we progressed to 2012. Why on the face of this earth would anybody get excited with old tech? This thing belongs in a time capsule that was supposed to be shot into the sun!
I'd have a hard time believing Honda would get rid of the 600RR considering I see more inline 4 supersports where I live than any other kind of bike next to cruisers. Small bikes like 250s? I see one every now and again. Same deal with street fighters. But cruisers and supersports? I see several a day. Granted, everyone and their brother has a GSXR, maybe that has something to do with it.
I like the GSXR, but the main reason I didn't buy one is because they're all too common. What I don't like to hear is "cool bike bro, I've got one just like it!"

What defines a perfect motorcycle? I think motorcycling is not a sports car where the fastest to speed, quickest to stop, best to turn is the victor or considered "the best motorcycle".
I have had 2 ninja 250r's, a 2003,2005,2006 600rr, a 2004,2006 1000rr, and a 2009 daytona 675 and 2012 street triple for a selection. Somewhere along this mass of motorcycles, lol, I bought a 2005 Triumph Bonneville T-100 with a cafe flare to it, could you believe it that, in my honest opinion, that was one of the most fun to ride and loveliest head turning motorcycles I have own.
I would take the CB1100 any day of the week before I would a 600rr if I was going to run the Cherokee Nantahala Skyway or blue ridge scenic ride. And as far as technology goes, I am sure it has conventional suspension, radial tires, conventional brakes (similar to the sliding pin calipers on my street triple), and multi-ported fuel injection and electronic ignition. Only that its wrapped in a crome-moly frame and has the distinctive lines of a 70's universal japanese motorcycle.
I am 26 years old, we all love modern machines, but this bike I find attractive just like my "old tech" 2005 bonneville t-100.
I am sure it is a balances, swift, and fun to ride motorcycle this CB1100...
You posted a thread which included a video by a banned member that clearly stole any information he got from this thread. You got called out on it and the thread lead to flaming in less than 4 posts. Yeah, I have no explanation as to why this thread is around while your pathetic one was deleted.
His thread was of a video of our old friend Country Cruza. In the video it was clear that everything you posted and subsequent post about the speculated 2013 model was stolen from this thread and made into a Youtube video. Almost verbatim, including your info relayed about insider information. He's just upset his thread was deleted in short.

The CBR500 nose fearing bears a strong resemblance to one of my favorite and imho most beautifully designed supersport out of Japan, the 2003 CBR600RR.
Honda did damn good when they designed that motorcycle, it looks much better than anything else the competition had on the market, especially that cursed "gixxer" that I despise with all consciousness, lol.
I could see a market for the CBR500 and CB500X. Throw a set of adventure bike tires and longer suspension and could quite possibly make do as a good light adventure bike :)
everything is released or leaked and has been for a while now, EXCEPT for the damn 600rr!!!
...it must be THAT good...must be something ground breaking back to the fireblade introduction days type awesomeness? the be all and end all of the 600's, setting new standards?
that or repeat of the 2012 with new colors...maybe some evil halloween type 'unlucky 13' type design for the year 2013?
I'm going motorcycle live 24th so whatever it is...i'll take a close up if anyone wants when i see it in person? haha
2012 CBR600RR
Build thread coming soon ....
the be all and end all of the 600's, setting new standards?
