Tony_K Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 the Human-Friendly Transmission (HFT) I love Honda and all their bullsh!t made up terminology! Link to comment
Gregori Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 "The unique, low-styling body features a liquid-cooled four-stroke 680 cc OHC V-twin engine that resonates power and a new automatic transmission, the Human-Friendly Transmission (HFT), that delivers superior throttle response for comfort even on long rides, and simple operation with no need for clutch use, allowing sporty riding. " That is one ugly ride! Indeed - it even makes the R12RT look downright stunning! Wow - sporty riding without the <strike>ability</strike> need to shift - who'd have thunk it?! (Where's the tongue-in-cheek smilie??) Link to comment

baggerchris Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I like the looks. I like the two mode tranny; regular and sport; and I like the button shift 6 speed manual mode, just like my wife's IS300 Lexus. I pretty much like the whole package. Link to comment
Deadboy Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Nah...the R1200RT still wins the ugly bike contest but not by as much as before....BMW may even want to demand a recount... Link to comment
Dave_in_TX Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Nah...the R1200RT still wins the ugly bike contest but not by as much as before....BMW may even want to demand a recount... No way, the real "ugly bike" winner is the 1150RT. Only a blind man would like its looks (or maybe Shamu the whale) Link to comment
Jeff98362 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I like it...would like to ride one. Make mine brown or beige with ABS. This could very well be our next new bike. Honda, are you listening? Link to comment
leikam Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Overall I like the concept and the styling, but I'd like to see one with more of a "standard" seating position instead of the legs-forward "cruiser" position. Link to comment
keithb Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Where are the bags? What do the bags look like? Maintenance free drive shaft? Yeah right. BMW told us that too. Link to comment
Semper_Fi Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hell of a scooter. Is this one of the signs of the apoclypse? Right up there with the automatic FJR Link to comment
Kitsap Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Is this a sporty Pacific Coast? Nah, the PC was better looking and more useful. It may have been dipped in plastic but it was bullet proof. Link to comment
