I wouldn't buy that just because of the launch film. From the music they selected it is obvious I'm not one of their target customers.

I made it 24 seconds, how far did you make it? You made it farther than me. If I can't understand the words and there's no musical notes involved, I don't listen cuz it doesn't make sense. Monotone is boring, heard enough of it in college from dull profs. |

Yes; the music is a poor choice but the worst part is the very brief display of the bike. Honda of America chose a poor way to intro a new bike. I read further down the webpage and it appears to be a good bike. As we old folks age out of MCs, new bikes have to appeal to a younger crowd.

I like it for what it is. Except the seating makes it unrideable for me. Rain, Standard and Sport. Changing the riding mode changes the engine’s acceleration characteristics, and also modifies its behavior under engine braking, along with the anti-wheelie setting.Anti wheelie setting?    I suppose if you want to do wheelies, you turn that setting off. Now if your wife or grandmother want to ride it, you turn it on so they don't do any. |

Targeting the groups that ride city style in packs harassing other road users?

decent HP but barely adequate torque number.
Sure hope nothing like the honda ctx700 I test drove thinking I wanted one since good ergos and pretty comfy for around 700cc, but was gutless forcing early shifts engine cutting out well before redline forcing you to shift prematurely before having any fun.

I'll agree with interesting but I can't see you getting one since it's got that anti-wheelie setting.  Rams |
