NinjaNick Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 They were there with my bikeland dudes. That's cool reading everyone's article that was at Laguna during the intro that day.On another note: I can't wait to see it in person and sit on it too.

Dweezel Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I'm sure its an awesome bike, and like everything Honda does, I'm sure its done well, but it just looks, generic. I don't know, it doesn't seem to have any real identity or personality to it. Its just kinda there. Ya know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dweezel Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Very deep I'm emotionally scarred I'm not saying it's ugly, it keeps growing on me every time I see it, it just looks generic. Kinda like they didn't want to commit to anything to radical or edgy, and thats what they came up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 So, how does one get a job doing press release coverage for these websites and such? I am very interested not only to ride whatever motorcycle I can (I'll be traveling with the Buell guys throughout the US this year), but I'd like to start writing editorials on such things...

Moto-Brian Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 speaking of buell, that new rotax engine makes me happy.We'll see how it goes. I will have 7 different venues to ride the bike. I'm interested in how the motor will do. I'm completely NOT sold on the style of the bike, but if it can handle well enough, I'll be impressed and happy. If it doesn't, it's going to be a long year with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweezel Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 You've got more balls than me my friend. I'd never swing my leg over anything made by HD and willingly go over 50mph. That and the bass ackwards front brake they've got has never gotten a good review that I've read of. Of course they finaly got the front forks on correctly. Are the race bikes belt drive like the street versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the bass ackwards front brake they've got has never gotten a good review that I've read of. Of course they finaly got the front forks on correctly. Are the race bikes belt drive like the street versions?Actually, the motor is a Rotax similar to that of the Aprillia Mille motor. A little more refined, actually.Outside that, it is belt drive, but again, it isn't a true track day of sorts. More like an aggressive demo day and we police the groups. I like twins and am always willing to try new bikes. I've been harsh on the Buell (Ask Monte) and I think this is an opportunity where I can get my foot in the door with an OEM for future progression whether with HD or another OEM...I will honestly keep an open mind and my reporting of how the bike is won't be biased just because I am sorta working with the company. It's an STT deal anyways and we go through Monte on this. I'm excited. I'd love them to be ZX10s or ZX6s, but hey... Maybe that comes along at a later date?

I know the admins on the site bikeland were in journalism for awhile and they decided to start the bikeland site in 2001 and got sponsors including Kawasaki themselves and that's all I know. I'm guessing they just applied themselves and became motorcycle journalist. They get to go to DEALER only shows and do reports and see all the good shit before any public. Also as you know get to ride them first and do reports on them. Awesome job for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
