I just saw this for the first time not too long ago. I wish I was in the states so I could run down to the local dealer and have a look.
What I have to say is, it's about time. There is obviously a market for these types of machines. BMW, Triumph, Yamaha and others all have them out and on the road. Honda has been lagging in design, in my opinion, in the adventure/dualsport/sport-touring scene. I'm happy to see them catching up, but it looks like mere catchup- not ground breaking. I still like Honda more than the other japanese companies (even though I own a Kaw.)
Where will Honda end up, I wonder?

I just looks suspiciously like the BMW GS. :) I do like it.
ReplyDelete@BeemerGirl Yeah, but with a smoother and more powerful power plant ;)
