In my opinion, the tank looks a little bulbous and I am not a fan of the spoked wheels or the new side covers. It is an attractive package but the bike almost looks like Honda is trying too hard to make the bike resemble a 70s CB750. Maybe that is the purpose.
Wonder if the dual exhaust and seat would fit the 2013. May have to think about those down the road. Overall, a nice bike with some nice upgrades. Owners will be proud to own this bike and Honda did a nice job and listened to their customers.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. I suppose that's why they decided to raise the headlight too. I'm just being a little mischievous here, but in 30 or 40 years I see the 2013's being the sought after model, much like the '69 CB750 is now. And just as a '75 or '76 CB750 is a better bike in almost every way than a '69 or '70 CB750, excepting maybe outright power, the early model 1100s may eventually have that same cachet, despite lacking the spoke wheels or the 6-speed transmission of the post-2013 model. If I'm not dead by the time it's decided then it will be fun to see if I was right. Then again, If I'm not dead by then, it will be fun simply to not be dead.
