Hi all,
I have droven the 2002 model, -had no experience of the previous one- and it feels and reacts great.Definetly going to get one, probably the abs version which I would recommend for speedos on those changing european roads.
To the point: the colors are 4 in europe, just gore in america. My point is that if you browse around web site us/eurpean you might notice a certain difference in horsepower. Now, in France and Switzerland ALL bikes are sold with less HP than in other european countries, Greece and Italy on the other hand, get the bikes unbridled.
What I am afraid of is this: should there be a us bridle (less HP) on the bike, it means you won´t get the 253 km/h chrono (not bike dials) that I got out of it in a test run. But, you´ll pay same money as I did.
I do not know what policy drives honda in the US but it is a matter worth of attention. Should there be a bridle in the injection chipset it should be possible to reprogram its eprom, thus returning the bike to its proper condition. Watch it, this might be illegal in some states, invalidating insurance and all.

well, that´s all folks, good rides!
