I don't even bash Honda that much. The last comment I made regarding them was the one about the F4i with a high mount and I said something about getting rearsets so you could lean it. There's a high amount of truth to that. Ever track one? You can't lean to the right on a stock one because the exhaust is so low and round it's in the way. And even after you replace it, those diving boards Honda calls pegs get in the way. That's just the reality of it. I bet you'd be hardpressed to go sub 1:25 at Summit Main on one without dragging half of the bike.
And I called one bloated once, but it was an F4 and wasn't the lightest 600 of its time. The 600RR has certainly changed that.
*edit* Plus, in AMA since Nicky Hayden left your top rider has been Duhammel and in GP until this year had been Biaggi. Assholes don't get bigger than those two.
