Looks like this as standard

and looked like this with all the add-ons at tokyo? show launch

It's a definate looker, but perhaps a bit too rare ? To get spares quickly and at a sensible price.

They are two different models. I think one is the basic model and the other is the 'S' model. Very very pretty.

No, work backwards, the sporty one is a 400SS and the plain one is something like 'GB400' (IIRC). We had pictures of them in an old newsletter, but I can't find it at the moment to check.

And I'll get mine, over my engine question. It's an RFVC single, but looks odd, for some reason

Lets all agree it's a great bike, I want one and it definately makes it onto my lottery winners dream garage list..........

......now if I only did the lottery.

I think I prefer the naked version over the cafe racer, just something about the simple classic look.

Looks like Honda have seen the light and been inspired by the Yamaha SR 500's more classic lines. Always a better seller than the ugly XBR in markets where the attributes of the single cylinder motorcycle are appreciated.
