Well it looks like Honda has finally made the decision to make class leading bikes again.
I'd be willing to bet the 929/954/1000 sales have been in decline sence the 2nd production year of the gsxr1000.
They started with the 600 for 07 so maybe they will finish with a competitive big bore for 09 like an 09 CBR1500 with 220 rwhp and a wet weight of 500 pounds is totally possable.

So will they make it a Hat Trick? Maybe back out of the 185 mph "agreement" and make the first 200+ mph production bike?

I highly doubt it.

On another note... they wont call traction control, "traction control". Because the first time someone crashes a bike with "traction control" the lawsuits will fly. So I'm sure the lawyers have been talking to the marketing department.

I'm glad to see that the undertail exhaust fad is gone.
