I would like to announce that test rides upon the new Honda CB1000R will be available from the 4th July 2008..... WITHOUT having to travel half way across the country. Yes, that's right, your local dealer (the same place that has - and had for a long time now - the CB1000R brochures) will have bikes available to test ride from the 4th July 2008, so you won't have to travel half way across the country to check one out, just pop down to your nearest dealer.

AND, once you've done so, why not pop back and let us know what you think? That's assuming you're not one of those who already has a deposit down and is expecting their bike on launch.
