Saw that yesterday. This market just keeps getting better and better. I think it's spec'd out with a shaft drive as well.

Nice looking bike but the front forks looks short for off road.

 

[MortiisMachine]

Mmmmm, not to sure on the looks of that, could be one of the bikes I need to see in the flesh, not loving at the moment though..

Always good to have options though.

Lets get this straight first, I like Honda's!!!! Ok, now I think they are going to price themselves waaaay above anything else out there, and the bike will be over 600lbs. This is just my guess. The bags won't be standard, the forks are outdated. Other than that, I know it will run for 200k miles plus!!!

I am glad I ordered the Tenere!!!

i can't help but think that Honda has modified some Varadero fairings to fit the VFR1200 and throw on some taller handlebars. Am I the only one thinking this?

Yep see were ya coming from, if there not careful they may end up with a few different models that all look the same.

But maybe HONDA wants to do this to save additional money since it seems like the Accountants and Exec's are making all of the decisions. The common people with brains like Soichiro have gone away for a long walk off a short pier!!!

For myself Honda have not made a bike for sometime that I would consider buying.

It is sad indeed. Honda is the "victim of their own success"! They have branched out into so many other markets they really should no longer be considered motorcycle company.

The fact is Honda is now global Aviation and Automotive company that happens to make some Motorcycles on the side.

 

[Buckeye56]

Well the North American sales for Honda is only 1.8 percent of their worldwide totals! They still sell a huge number of bikes, just not here.

 

[HoebSTer]

The % of bikes over 600cc is higher here than say in India where they have millions of 90cc moped scooters.

 

[supert]

The rear drive on this bike looks huge. I'm not a big fan of single sided swing arms.

 

[hANNAbONE]

total dud and prolly waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over priced.! and waaaaaaaaay heavy too.
