Honda 750 Hornet breaks cover

[misterprofessionality]

I have to say that, looks aside, if I were to test ride one, and it was brilliant, and the price was right, the looks wouldn't be a deal breaker.
I ride a CB1100 because it's beautiful and has a soul. But, I don't need beauty to haul my butt to work every day.

I feel the same way, but i also know that this is Honda. The hornet is going to be billed as a relatively "premium" bike. Its going to cost more than the CB650r, which is already about 10k. Even if the hornet is only 11k, you have to consider whats for sale in that price range. I dont think it will be able to compete, and the bad styling is going to be partly responsible.
