Bike looks real, dioesn't look like a Photoshop job, but the front lights and intakes etc look very TYGA ish.

Rear shock adjusters looks like the tops of the new BPF forks that Suzuki and Kwacka are now using.

Nice looking bike, but it looks kinda cheapish on the top cowl for some reason.

I wonder who made it?

Just stirring you Ted, these 'leaks' are fed to the press to generate interest and feedback.

Looks the same as the old 'Blade except for the fancy race dash and a few other tweeks, hardly the ground breaker that was 'in the making'.

[wesifumi]

Okay, it's not Japanese in my face book link above, its Cantonese.

The very, very strange thing about these pics is, This is a Honda dealer in Hong Kong.

Why the hell would A Hong Kong bike shop have the 2012 blade?

Its a real bike, heres the vid.

The whole thing is just odd, something is iffy. Its location, the facebook page. The timing. No purpose leak, definitely not. But i have said elsewhere, a few small changes make a big difference BUT there may well be another bike for WSBK. We will have to wait and see but if the engine remains the same it aint enough for a world title imo. See what happens when Ten Kate test their "new" bike.

[Magnets]

Was speaking to a top BSB team last night, the new 'Blade apparently has a lot more to it than is being portrayed. Geometry is supposedly very different to current bike and engine heavily upgraded to gain more horses. Team had been worried about using the new bike but seem happy to do so now.

[evoblade]

Its all very covert,so would it be fair to say the Hong Kong showroom bike is a PR stunt??!!

Had to be right, a smoke screen for their new "V" configured engined sportsbike.........we'll have to wait.

[whose-law-anyway]

As far as I know, all the big sport bikes are counted as imports in japan even though they are built there they have to be imorted back from malasia as there are very strict laws in japan in relation to power etc, you have to be a jedi to get the approprite licence to ride one on the road. So this is pro why you see it in affulant china first.
