That's looking like a lot sharper bike to my eye.  Of course, it's all about how it works in the real world, but it's good to see Honda get themselves into the game again.

 Yea the real world is where it matters most to us daily riders.. But I have no doubts that this new RR will be an incredible street machine. Honda puts alot of thought into creating a bike with a smooth, linear powerband that is rider-friendly. I think the 07 will be simply amazing. If I don't go ahead and trade up this year, I will likely get one next year.. I like to give anything that is totally new atleast a year to be corrected of any bugs.

Now if only they could get away from the blown headlight look.  Either put 1 headlight on the thing or light up both.  I know Honda is not the only ones who do this but it still looks like the one light is perpetually blown.

 It's easily fixed with a headlight cover and number plate. I must admit, I'm sick of people telling me I have a headlight out, but at the same time, they build them like that for a reason. Doesn't matter to me, though. I have a Bi-Xenon projector going in one side and a number plate covering the other.
