I contemplated this as well. IMO since this is free literature given away to anyone that walks in the door, this is not an issue. If it were material Honda sold for profit (as in a service manual) I would not have posted it. Many sales brochures (as opposed to service information) can be downloaded as a PDF file on the internet directly from the manufacturer and it is recommended to do so by the manufacturer. A sure fire way to get a brochure in the hand of a prospective buyer since many dealers don't like to carry or hand out model brochures.

FWIW, I agree. The only reason I made a joke about it was that I can't imagine a circumstance in which Honda would object to having its propaganda distributed for nothing.
Oh yea, those guys lol

Thanks for posting this Ferret! IMO this is appropriate for this board. It is a reference, directly from Honda, of what is available for our bikes...information that for whatever reason is not available here in the US. Sharing info about our bikes is what this board does. This is really no different than viewing a Honda CB11 promotional video or a reference to a Honda parts fiche. If it were some other company it might be different, but this 'is' the manufacturer of our bikes after all.

I'm sure it's all good for all the reasons stated. It IS a sales catalog, If anything, Honda should pay Mickey for the added circulation!
And I'll expect my cut as a member!

Personally, I find the centerfold less flattering with the obvious staple piercing & the center crease... very distracting from an otherwise very pleasing(to my eye) form!
