Cool mini-trail Supercruz. They're just so damned cute! Hopefully this new Grom will inspire some youngsters like those Z50s did back in the day.

I wonder if one of those Grom engines will fit into my C70 Passport frame? Hmm....

I think Honda has hit a huge homerun with this year's lineup here in the states. It's getting back to where they had something for everyone, with a natural progression (if one wanted to) up to the bigger, more expensive stuff.

Must say the surprise for me is the F6B. Took one for a ride at an open house ( just for yuks, ya'know? ) and found myself thinking " hey, I could live with this..." Really nice bike.

I think Honda finally hired someone in their marketing department who didn't see much future in their status quo strategy.

I agree, they definitely upped their game this year.

I really like the F6B as well. Too bad they don't have an ABS option.

Now, if only they'd make a sport-touring bike with cruise control, decent luggage capacity, designed in this century, that didn't cost an arm & a leg.

I love my CB1100 for day or weekend trips, but if I can ever arrange for a week or more of consecutive days off from work so I could go on a proper long distance cruise, I think that F6B would find its way into my garage.

At the NYC motorcycle show the F6B and the CB1100 drew the biggest crowds at the Honda display.

2013 Honda CB1100A, 1983 Honda CB1100F, 1982 Honda CB900F with Hondaline sport fairing, 1980 Honda CB750F, 1975 Honda 400/Four, 1982 Honda CBX
My only fear is that after I die my wife will sell my motorcycles for what I told her I paid for them

The Grom. I saw that bike on Honda's web site some time ago. I have no use for it and I need that bike about as much as I need a dose of the clap. So....why do I want one so much??? Good grief. When I was 14 years old I had a Honda Trail 70 with a license plate. I rode it all over central Arizona with no drivers license and never got caught. Such great times. Perhaps the Grom reminds me of that.

I really want one as well! Would be great around campus but really don't need it at all seeing as I have the cb11. But just the thought of being in full gear buzzing around town brings a smile to my face.
