Following on from a recent "Bullshit Detector" feature, this has just hit my inbox (despite me unsubscribing several times) from those razor sharp newshounds at MCN, once again at the cutting edge of investigative journalism:
World Exclusive: Honda V4 official pictures! In this week's issue of MCN, on sale June 24, we reveal details of the new Honda V4 and official pictures which show every angle of the machine.
Will this story NEVER go away? I've tried (and failed) to find the source of their "official" pictures, and I'm buggered if I'm gonna buy it!
SB folk - any sniff of any of this?

Seen what they are going to unveil on another site.
It's a mock up of the V4 concept fairings, fireblade forks, calipers, front wheel and exhaust. Then a CB1000R rear wheel, and hornet 6 tail. Hmm.

Aye, just saw that too.
The swingarm looks like it was nicked off the BMW K1200/K1300. Strange.

What a bunch of 'fuckwits' http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/News/n...-spied-on-test/
'UK' exclusive, knew they had to get that word in somehow... now claiming "our spy photographer was spotted the bike was hurriedly put away in the back of a truck"
FFS, MCN are on another planet......Marc Potters also saying that he was in contact with the photographer when one of the forum users posted the link.....
