For the most part, I like the looks of the CB300R. It's funny to think about all the bikes on the market spawned by the Ducati Monster 20 years ago.
As Ferret said, "unfortunately for Honda, this is the competition". If I had room in the garage, I'd be clearing a spot for that Kawasaki! And with another look at the past, this 'little' 400 Twin (and a good rider) would have been a real contender for Gran Prix championships back in the 50's, early 60's.
Bu alas, I'll have to do my 'racing' from the bench..
