RE: Japan Dealers' NEW Bikes - for viewing torture
I have been thinking changing my tank scheme and it was nice to see those pics again. I think having HONDA spelt out on the tank looks much better than the current round badge.

+4 on that. The bike really pops with that color, amazing! That possibly looks better than red! Wish that was available in the US.

I love that silver. My first bike was a similar colour. Always thought it looked good on UJM style bikes.

All gorgeous bikes, especially the silver. I must defend the round Honda wing on our bikes though - I think it's a clean badge that establishes our CBs as a new classic in their own right rather than simply a retro copy.

I'll take a blue and a Gold. Love those 70s colors.

And our round Honda wing badge is done beautifully, with the subtle red center that is apparent in some lighting conditions. I'm a fan.
