It's AI BS.  Good idea, but not going to happen.

I'm not qualified to say it's AI junk or not but, I am thinking that if Mother Honda were to produce a retro version, it would sell like hotcakes to those of us already addicted.  Wink

The beginning of the video says it used AI generated imagery.

My question is why would anyone create such a video for a very small audience/market.

Either way, real or fake, I still like the original design best although I’ve never been on or ridden the second generation.

Using a few AI tools folks can crank out endless videos like this with almost no effort and flood Youtube with 'em, and monetize 'em. They get a few cents per person who views each video, over time, enough videos, enough people and they make some real money from this slop.

(And someone living in Africa, India, Asia, etc, a few dollars a day is big money. I guess at least they're not scamming grandma's into dumping their life savings into Apple gift cards (Happened to my mother in law recently, but I digress.) )

This particular channel is less than a year old with almost 800 videos churned out, all basically the same thing but for different non-existent bikes... And looks like they've gotten just shy of 4 MILLION views overall...

(Not slamming OP, we're all new to this AI stuff, not everyone has developed the 6th sense to quickly detect AI mass generated slop. But yeah. It's AI generated slop.)

Youtube is theoretically working to crack down on these AI generated slop farms, but we'll see how successful they are:

Yeah, I'm real careful about clicking any random links to anything I'm not pretty sure of.

Like my Email page often has a link at the top to something like.  "Nice girls.  Dating for Seniors"

No freaking way I'm clicking that link.  Get myself on a database for perverts, or start getting calls from old hookers who want to move in with you, or God knows what.    2funny

 Cry Sorry, guess I got taken in by this one. My wishful thinking about a possible new Valkyrie got the best of me. It sure would be nice if Honda did come out with a retro version of the 1997-2003 Valkyrie.  cooldude
