The tail had to lose the light to ensure the exhaust followed the same line as the undertail. There are brackets out there that can work around that setup while still looking good, and I'm sure more are in the works. The chopped fairings also bring the weight down while maximizing engine cooling.

That's nothing a roll of tin foil molded under the seat can't fix...just stick a pastrami sandwich under there and by the time you gas up you'll have a tasty snack.

I like the new bike. Not enough for me to go out and sell everything i own for one, but I think it is a nice looking bike. Can't wait to see one in person. Yes, the tag and rear light isn't pretty, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I noticed honda is going with these older retro paint jobs (1OOORR, Interceptor) which is kinda cool compaired to the flashy colors on the other manufactures bikes.

Back on topic, I think the bike looks good and overaul my first surprise was the weight of the bike. It might just be the lightest production 600 out there when its released. If I recall the dry weightw was around 340.
