    Can't say whether there's a design flaw but I doubt that motorcycle manufacturers have to satisfy FMVSS front-end impact testing as do the auto manufacturers. The picture posted by 53driver is the second front wheel separation we've seen on the new models. Makes me wonder how many we haven't seen. Personally I'm still leery of Honda's new front suspension design, especially the tie rods with the 5mm of allowable play in the bars as specified in the service manual. Hopefully these issues will be worked out in time.
