Wow! Hope that is the actual production bike! Black wheels, I'll save $1,200 from the get go...

Damn. I hate Honda and I really really hate the color red. But Damn. That is sexy. I am glad Honda went with all red plastics, true to Honda. That is one damn fine ride.

On closer inspection, looks to still be the unicam head. Guess the twin may debut in 18?

I think gold would look good. I have never been able to warm up to black rims. Without the definition between the rim and tire, to me, it makes them look weird like the old BW's or Fat Cat's, lol

That and the brake pedal snake/ foam are throwing me. The coating and spacer I could buy, but what do I know

But it also has cast clamps and no titanium hardware.
I'd love to see those wheel spacers come on the production bikes, those look awesome.

The shock clevis is anodized black as well as fat bars. Maybe production with some tweaks.

Who is the Vital genius sharing this thread of a couple month old photoshopped pic on FB and the main page?
