in their consumer line... in their consumer line.. for a superbike and apply it to every two wheel driven motorcycle in their stable.
The point of special edition branding is not to see it between the legs of every hoon on the planet. It cheapens what's 'special' about it.
And while I could care 2 sh*ts about whats between another man's legs or about the respsol special editions. I can appreciate the value of limited runs of it on super bikes and have enough where with all to understand how its cheapened when its now on donkey carts.
So, please save the professional racing circuit history lessons .. I am well aware of them, respol, and how there is a big difference between it and Honda's consumer products and the 'spirit' of its branding therein.
Now, back to the clown show of penis measuring and calling people haters ...

Problem is that it's not a limited edition if they bring it out on every model and pretty much every year
