OK, DaWadd, I have to say that seeing that photo makes it look good. I think having a rider in the image to put it in context makes a big difference. That is sharp looking. I have to reconsider my opinion.

The bike covers are definitely not on CBR500's. That's not to say they actually cover the bikes in question. I wouldn't put it past a PR guy deliberately mislead us on the bikes' shape.

I didn't even put in my 2 cents yet .... I like them too! The only thing that still gets me is those stupid-seemingly-misplaced-general-purpose side reflectors on the rear fender. Looks like Honda raided the left-over parts bin from the 70's - What engineer got paid for their talents on that one? Anyway, nice scoot there DaWadd!

Sweet bike!

I had a group of bikes stop next to me on our main street at a light. I looked over and several of them were the Custom 1300's and some Harleys mixed. It made for a really nice looking group of bikes. They stood out as an outstanding custom look I noted with great envy.

look close at the bars on the cbr500 looks like its ment to compete with the fz6r and ninja 650 in the sport standard but if thats the case why only a 500 it doesnt really have any competition over here to small to compete with the former and to big to compete with the ninja 300 dont think they r coming here although i would love to c honda bring back the nighthawk
