Found out the local dealer had four of them in Auckland so went to have a look, actually not a bad machine, tank and radiator not too much out of proportion, nice paint job on the tank but just some orange peel in a lot of places, i guess once you get over the fact that this is just not a retro bike it makes a nice naked machine, same price as the cb1100 in nz makes it a bit overpriced and looks cheaper in my opinion but does not compare to the cb1100.
Looks just like any other one with a hint of nostalgia, just not nearly as refined as the Honda, it's a different class, that's all.

Just glad i did not wait for it because i would have missed out on the cb i have now, that would have been very sad.
