I saw those clips a week or two ago and noticed the wing was the only one worth buying; the rest just rubbish.

That had to be 2 of the worst presentations I've ever seen, must have been cutbacks in the marketing department.

Quite like the Africa models though.

I agree Dave... looks like senior Honda staff delegated design and presentation work to one of the junior office 'wannabees' and then took an extended holiday.

I would like to take that 3 wheeler for a spin to try it out, out of curiosity.
Cheers,

Africa Twin any day of the week. Bloody nice to see these bikes back in production and maintaining a classic design and style.
Boy I'm glad I'm not myopic like some guys.
