New Honda DH Bike?

Check this out. Yesterday I was downhilling at the Keystone bike park in Colorado and a big Honda bus pulled in and started setting up. A few hours later a Tomac truck pulled in. The Honda guys unloaded what looked like a new version of the Honda bike that Greg Minnaar rode in the World Cups.
Three of the people in the bus spent the rest of the day riding the bike at the park. Is it possible that we could FINALLY see the Honda bike finally come to market?
The bike looks almost production ready, with a really finished looking gear box and a more developed frame. It still looks cooler than any DH bike I have ever seen. Seriously.

I remember seeing pics of this in Motocross Action 4 or 5 years ago, even the MX people were disgusted at the sight of it!

unless someone's been fiddling with the date taken data on the file then it would appear it was taken yesterday.......

I'd settle for a Vespa DH bike, dont think my skills are up to handling much more off road

The exif says that date, but you can edit exif on images pretty easily.

The 'Vital MTB' logos have been photoshopped onto the pictures, they are in slightly different positions on each shot!!
Is it April 1st, or Groundhog day???

That is a 2009 Tomac in the background of photo 2, but why it isn't in the other two shots is a mystery.
All very suspicious and a good photoshop job if that's what it is.
