Now all it needs is the V5!

Sorry Aprilia, you will have to go.

Is that a 600 Hornet?

Its a <em><strong>street</strong></em> version of an SP2... all the SP2 bodywork has been removed and a front rad from the X11 added ...

copy is the sincerest form of flattery. As with most Hondas it will not handle particularly well and is just a feeble attempt by the worlds largest manufacturer to claim they win everything.

So what.

I think Honda copies a bunch from Aprilia......look at the latest VFR......looks a lot like a Futura

and the paint schemes aprilia uses shows up very similar to Honda ones 3 years after Aprilia did it.

actually, i like the looks of the z1000. this bike, however, looks typical honda. they only go halfway on their design and everything ends up being a bit boring. i wish they'd push the envelope a little like they used to. but i guess they're so big now, they have no reason to take chances. they can just sit back and let the money roll in.

Hate to tell you guys
But It was not aprilia who first decided to strip down there sport bike into a street fighter

Triumph have been doing it for years so who is copying who

I think it looks more like a Buell than a kwaka. The shape doesn't do much for me on this one, which is unusual. I typically like the shapes that Honda come out with (I"ve owned 5 Hondas out of 7 bikes that I've ever owned...)
