Honda recently introduced a few "standard" models overseas that are pretty interesting, particularly the CBF 500. It's nice to see what appears to be a thoroughly modern, clean-sheet design in a smaller street bike. The specs show 41mm forks, single-shock rear suspension, 5 gallon tank, liquid-cooled parallel twin motor, 6-speed gearbox, full-size tires (radials hopefully) and a fairly low seat height. More details about it can be found here: http://www.motorbikes.be/models.asp?id=3856
From a styling perspective there's no new ground broken, but it's nicely proportioned. The tail section appears to be patterned after the current VFR Interceptor.
Let’s hope that Honda brings this one to North America. 8)
