I was looking at a couple of dealer sites and see that Honda now has a 700cc sport tourer. I just hope they don't drop the st-1300.  I still think they should make an interstate VTX.

Introducing the Honda NT700V, newly arrived here in the U.S., and the perfect combination of cross-town commuter and cross-country capability that's been wowing Europeans for over a decade. Think of it this way: If the ST1300 had a little brother, it would be the NT700V. Plenty nimble to eat up around-town urban assaults, and plenty plush and feature-packed for the luxurious long haul.

From this machine's potent, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 680cc V-twin, disc brakes (with optional ABS) and bulletproof shaft drive to its integrated saddlebags and weather-cheating adjustable windscreen and bodywork, the NT700V rolls out as the ultimate light-weight tourer/commuter for both entry-level and seasoned riders alike. In other words, the best of both worlds.

I think it's being replaced by a variation of the new VFR1200.

I heard about this bike a few years ago when i went down to honda HQ in LA. No details at the time but they told us all on the tour something was coming down the pipline for those wanting smaller than an ST. I kind of forgot all bout it till i saw this thing on the honda website.I will have to take a good look at it at the cycleworld show next month.

Does it have the CVT like the 700 cruiser/scooter that Honda made?? 

I think it'd sell decently if it's a normal transmission.  Makes for a nice touring rig for those who want better mileage and less weight than a ST.
