The simple truth about this bike is that its classification depends where you bought it. For example, in Australia it's a naked bike; in the US, it's a sport bike. That's what Honda says. Wanna argue with them?
A further question is whether there can—or, indeed, should—be absolute definitions of the requirements for a bike to fall into a particular class which would put an end to this sort of thread. It is clear, from this thread at least, that most members of this forum are very happy to rely on their personal classification abilities: if I think it's a sport bike, it is!
The resulting arguments adduced in support of peoples' cases are mostly entertaining.
