I find it VERY hard to believe that Honda would drop the 954RR? It's only a year old bike (actually, 3rd year going into '03), but Honda may have a trick up there sleeve or 2 or 8?

Defending JohnnyB, new found respect
Hey although there is some similarity between this post and a post on Motorcycle Daily i.e. they both are talking about motorcycles. Let us be fair. Burns post is much different i.e the CBR under the seat exhaust etc. the Chicago show etc. I like hearing this stuff so please keep it up.
I have been critical of Burns for the lack of content but if Burns and others are working at MO for charity. I owe all of the MO staff an apology. ( You know I had to bold that it wouldn't be a proper KPaul post without it.)
The helmet piece was great cause Burns had the guts to criticize the AMA in print. Too many motorcycle journalist talk reverently about the AMA as if we are all supposed to be grateful it exists. Hey, they are taking our money they should be working on worthwhile stuff like Burns said.
I am looking forward to the fall Lord Burns to those shootouts. By the way, offer ElFaco a job he can finish his degree at UCLA. If he says no tell him its raining here in Seattle.

Re: What about the 919?
Just curious...what flaws did you hear of regarding the 919? I have yet to hear any complaints about the bike, and it's also been around Europe for a while now. It's only a new model to the US market.
Inquiring minds want to know!

I am tired of bike reviews...
All of these complaints about "where's my such and such review," are silly. There are not very many people out there who actually buy a new bike more often than every 4 years. The only reason to read endless bike comparisons is to soothe the ego of the squid. Personally, I like reading product reviews and modification stories because they are things I could apply to my riding. I recently neglected to renew my Motorcyclist subscription because they have been doing nothing but play up to the newstand squid. If MO goes that route, I will do the same to their magazine. I could at least use the extra money to pay off the guys at Motorcycle Consumer News.
I have to say that I am very excited about the new CBRXX. The '97 is getting a little ragged looking. Maybe the '04 model will be on order. I guess I'll just have to wait until the review comes out in Motorcyclist
