That's just the difference between a half million dollar, and a ten thousand dollar machine.

Anyway, sorry I mistook your post as hostility.

Its not a problem i was just trying to help. And yes i agree there is big differences in every race bike and its production equal. But every single thing released by honda even part to part comparisons has shown that they used that bike as both redesigns and part refinement. I used it as an example for the 2 new bikes by honda. I didnt compare them in performance, track handling, or the such. Just used it as another tool for him to make his decision. Honda doesnt claim at all that the bike uses anything but frame, part, etc redesign and neither will I. Too bad im not close to MD sounds like a track race between us would be fun.
