What, no water cooled weed whackers? Snow blowers? Lawn mowers? Leaf blowers? Chain saws?

Red or white would be better. And faster.....

Robe,

I was one of them. I wanted a black tank and black side covers are cool too. But blacking out the beautiful machined aluminum fork lowers, peg mounts, triple clamps, engine side covers and cam covers is just too much. All of the beautiful detail in the bike disappears. I know many members love it but I really don't. I believe if Honda just made the tank and side covers black they would have sold out with the 6 speed. I would have bought one too.

The two tone engine is much better looking than all black Ito my eye.

I completely agree with you. Not a fan of the whole black CB. It's rather more hip than is it retro in my view, but taste, and colors are to each his own.

Thank God the black Australian models came with a silver engine.

Yep, just needs black side covers, then it would be even awesomer. What are you waiting on Cormanus?

I don't know Ferret. Other things to spend money on, perhaps?

Yes, this is my idea of a good lookin' black, also the darker silver side covers works for me on this one only, but black would look great too...

Well, this one is black, black covers, silver engine. However, I didn't find a good picture, where it's clean:

Yea I know, like plane tickets to 'Merica, motorcycle rental, rooms at the lodge"...

Ok wait till next year on the side covers, we'd rather have you at the rally.
