Couldn't we be more pro-active towards Honda? I know Atic is unofficial
and doesn't represent the majority of @ owners, but I think we could
influence Honda in some ways just to indicate the market is waiting. For
example, why don't we adress a mail to Honda, each of us? 
I think we  agree on one point : the @ (whatever the model) is FOR US
the best bike ever produced.
