Honda dropped the ball big time on this one. Looks like shit, is way to heavy, and gonna be way over priced. Why not get a st 1300 if you want a 600+ pound full sized touring bike? They lost there vision with this bike years ago. It started off as a freaking race bike for gods sake what happened? Keep it small light and nimble, they could have upped the power with out making the bike freaking huge. If I want a huge touring bike I would look at the fjr/st1300/bmw gt line. It sucks there are NO mid sized touring bikes on the market anymore? The only one is the sprint st 1050. There are some euro bike but we will never see them state side!

yeah 600 lbs blows... think with tech today they could lighten it up ... that front fairing would have to go... still love the single-sided swingarm ... miss the old 750 models and the first year or two of the 800 ...

It's hard to tell if it's meant to be a Sportbike or an ST. It has the weight of an ST but the ergos are more sportbike than a Concours 14 or an FJR. And (without enough interest to search), I would imagine the SOHC V4 1200, is down on power compared to the 14 or the FJR.
