Looks good and sounds like a good idea buuuut.... the weight is a big downfall for me. Now I know that the market is still hurting but I was hoping Honda would design this around a aluminum frame and try to lower the weight. What I was really hoping for was a brand new inline 4 super sport 500 with low weight and moderate HP. What Honda came out with was a fi ninja 500/ gs 500. For the money I would just as well save and buy a ninja 500.

I'm not a hater, I really am impressed with Honda's 250 and the new ninja 300 but this cbr 500 idea does not impress me.
