Just found out yesterday...the colour scheme I've ordered...is different to the pic I was shown!!
Basically theres a tad more silver on the back of the bike...
Yet to see a proper pic but it looks good still.
Still no update on actual date. GWhite is having a meeting with their honda rep tomorrow so hopefully update then!

I don't understand why they can't just get your bike in for the 1st March, or do they have a minimum order??

Still sucks big time tho :(

Just as long as I get to keep my bucket you can borrow it for as long as you want I am thinking of getting a battery powered version anyway.

Gixers are too common...............only jesting brothers before you start slating me

to be honest after all this crap from Honda I'd cancel the order and get something else. It's been half a YEAR since you passed your test almost mate...that's a long time to be waiting for one particular bike!

Other option is to do what I told you to do in October...get on ebay, get yourself a £500 winter hack and get out on the roads while you wait for the RR

Patience is a virtue!!! :) I wouldn't give up on it now, seeing as you've been waiting so long.

I would have to agree with Dabz's thoughts. Half a year is a long time to go w/out riding a bike after passing your test so if you are adament about getting the CBR, then make sure you get some cheapo hack just to gain/build up some confidence.

Marc i can see where your coming from, i think i would be cancelling and buying the new gixer 600 mmmmmmm. BTW i was watching a pod video last night from March last year and it was just when i was going up the strip and you walked past the bloomin camera with Kate.lol

Before he comes on, I'll say that he did get a quicker time than me.. I have vids of all four runs, and my starts were a lot better than his :)
