lol....different bikes for different things...

Here I was wishing Triumph would put a fairing on the Rocket III Touring... and Honda offers this.

Veeeeery tempting...

Could have been cooler (like a better looking front fairing)... but I like it.

It does look surprisingly cool, and from the Honda perspective it's a can't loose deal since they basically didn't have to do much of anything to create it.

Still, I can't help but think....why? It's still a huge bike best at swallowing up interstate 1000 miles at a gulp, except now it's less practical.

Ah well, practicality be damned-it does look cool.

The hugeness factor on those Wings are over the top... I'm sure they're comfortable like a Cadillac was in the 80s and will eat Interstate for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Hey Lee,

When you are into weird schit like getting on two wheeled cars and travelling across the universe with only one servo stop; what kinda mods do you do?

I can't imagine you'd mess with the usual stuff like make it faster or corner better. I imagine you'd put in a flat screen tele or spa pool or a billiard table or some schit. What do you do to a 380 kg bike with your bling money?

That's one ugly bike! The mirrors are as big as the dudes helmet. It looks like a tractor on two wheels. I can live with the looks of the wing, although functional, I wouldn't call it hot looking. But this things fairing and mirrors are way out of proportion,IMO. And people made fun of the new trophy!

I resized the adveretising picture so the fairing just in front of the knee is pretty close to the same size as the red bike. Sort of looks like the two riders are very close to same height judging by length of lower leg alone.

It's big and ugly, but it still can't do things as well as a car can.

Dang, a corn fed bike...
