Default Anybody Checked Out the Honda Website Lately?

They have countdown to the release date of the 2013 models. The excitement is almost too much for me to bear. Your thoughts?

Probably about the same as it was last year. They aren't really much for innovation these days, except perhaps in their sport bikes. I haven't seen a good cruiser come up from them in a while since the VTX came out, and the redesign of those machines are too chopper-like for my liking.

I agree with you 100% on your take on the new 1300 customs..just too raked out for my liking as well. They shouldn't have discontinued the VTX.

Great marketing if they come out with something exciting.

If not, it will be a huge disappointment and will backfire.

I thought the 2013's were already announced? They already show 2013 models on their site. Does this imply there are 6 new models coming?

I also concur. The VTX 1300R would be my next bike if they made them again. Honda is forcing me to look at the V Star 1300 with their current line up.
