This is for Japan this year and only the beginning. The U.S. is scheduled to change their emission standards in 2025.
I hope you like riding an appliance in the future.

Keep an eye on these Ron, as all of us could form another ride or two together.

If it doesn't drink fuel, burp fumes and burn tires,,,,,I'll take the zero

We'll see. I doubt they'll be discontinued in North America within the time frame reported. That said, get one while you can. You won't be disappointed.

Still riding the 1997 Valkyrie I bought new.  It will still be running long after I'm gone.

I agree. Well taken care-of Valkyries will run forever. The engine is bullet proof.

In 2018 I sold my 2000 Valkyrie Tourer with 100K plus miles on it and bought a new Gold Wing. I was ready to try something new and my wife wanted it, too. That helps with the purchase!

Honda only does major upgrades on motorcycles after several years, with only minor changes each year.

The 2018+ model will run for several more.

I'd be concerned if they do not have pre-build engineering in process at this time.

But us civilians will never know.

I believe eventually they'll be electric. If Harley can do it you know the Japanese can do it and be definitely a much better option. Liberals will eventually spike gas so high it will be unaffordable for the average family.
