But in all seriousness, I work for a Honda dealer and today they finally released to us when we will finally find out about a few 2013 Honda models that they have been keeping a secret.
Not sure if this video has been posted by anyone yet but figured I would upload it real quick just to show you what we see as dealers as far as info goes on the 2013 CBR600RR.
I'm not trying to advertise the dealer I work for so I hope this isn't taken that way, just wanted to let you guys know what just popped up for us as dealers. If it is against the rules technically just let me know and I'll keep my mouth shut ;)

At first I didn't then I couldn't find it and read and was like ahhhhwww what a di**! Lol
even though you tricked us still gave you a thanks because we have more information then we did before! i hope they release an awsome 2013 model too. that way in 3-4 years when i can afford the 2013 model it'll be sick! haha
The info you on the link you posted is old news, very old news. It has nothing to do with the new models that are being released for 2013. The link you posted has information regarding models that are carry over models from 2012 with nothing new...
What I am talking about is NEW models for 2013, not 2013's that are carried over from 2012 that had no changes at all.
I know the 2013 600RR is all that you guys care about, the 600RR info will be released on 11/12/2012 which is why I posted this info.
I hope it's a completely new style. I love the current style but I feel like it's time for a change. My poor bike's value is going to depreciate! Haha Maybe this will divert all the hype away from the new 636.

Perhaps you didn't read it. Honda Press Release SEPTEMBER 27th 2012.
Not "very old news," and at least 4 of of those motorcycles are "new" to 2013.
The pic you posted shows 6 motorcycles, which probably includes all of the "new" bikes in the link I posted, plus the 600RR AND 1000RR(Which is essentially unchanged for 2013, and online pics and reviews can be found.).
Blah, blah, blah...Like I said. All we care about is the 600RR.

What bike in the link you originally posted is a new bike for 2013? Unless I'm a blind man or today has been a lot longer than it seems lol all of those models are just carry-over's from 2012.
The other bikes under the covers wouldn't be any of the bikes listed in the link you posted because the bikes under the covers haven't had any information released from Honda regarding them yet. Whereas the bikes in the links you posted have already been officially released from Honda, which means they wouldn't take something they already released information on and then try to say "hey look something new".
I guess I just don't see any "new" models for 2013 in the link you posted, so please tell me which of those bikes are new for 2013 in the link you posted?
The possible 3 new Honda 500's has already been covered on our blog by myself as well, the CBR500, CB500X and CB500. It's a good possiblity we will get at least one of those.
I know all you care about is the CBR600RR, I wasn't posting up the information for any other model except for the RR. One of those under the covers WILL be the 600RR which is why I posted it lol so I don't know what were going back and forth on that part but I am curious to the questions above ;).
I'll make my guess right now. Showa big piston forks, 12 spoke wheels, slipper clutch, and minor body changes with new colors of course, power plant unchanged.

I'm only going off what I read there. It says four new Shadow bikes. I'm not familiar with the Shadow lineup, so you would know better than me.

Reckon they'll keep the under tail exhaust? 600rr is about the last super sport standing with the under tail exhaust still...
I love them but I understand for ultimate performance the under body exhaust is a little better so it's going to go at some stage :(

What's the bet there is a Honda engineer on this forum who has mates in marketing and sales, telling them: 'no no boys, just keep them guessing for a few more months, this **** is classic'.
I will have a major case of blue balls if they don't bring anything new out for 2013...

They threw around "new" a bit to where it is misleading. The shadow line has had the Spirit, Aero, Phantom, RS for a couple years and received no changes for 13.

As much as I want to hope Honda changes the engine setup to squeeze more power it'll probably be a long shot. Our luck we'll probably get the usual jargon where it has "new mapping" lol.
If I was a betting man I would agree 110% with your predictions as it would follow suit with the 12 1000RR. I'm hoping we're wrong though... haha

Thx for posting, hey any news is better than no news. Im def more inclined to think they will do an "update" vs full make over, as Mikey mentioned. But hey anything can happen right ;)
Just noticed its a Monday which sucks since we're closed but I'll get it up ASAP as the news is going to spread like wildfire.
Normally when they release the info to us it is at 9am PST since their main branch is in California. We get the information via a video called "Redline" which has replaced the yearly dealer convention. We get these Redline videos a few times a year when new models etc are released.
Our Honda Rep told us last week we "might" see a new dirtbike, touring bike, sportbike but he couldn't tell us anymore details. I jokingly offered to take him out that night for drinks so I could pry a little more info out of him on the 600RR lol. He seemed to be more hush hush on the CBR and his grin on his face got bigger the more I speculated, said what I'd love to see, etc haha which didnt help me wonder even more about what Honda may or may not have up their sleeves.
Sorry for rambling on, just figured I would give you guys the very very little bit of info that I do have which sadly isn't much at all haha.
