Hehe - exactly the same title on the Burgman 650 forum.
Honda has to find a viable home for that horrid NC700/750 motor ( half a Jazz car motor )
I actually think the baby cruiser mode for it might work. I'll take one for a demo ride on Rock the Red demo days in Canada.
With fuel prices rising ( $40 for a 400 km "brisk" ride yesterday. on the ST1100
... I can see the appeal of a high fuel economy cruiser and that thing looks slippery as hell so likely can sip fuel.
Storage is kinda neat and there is add on luggage plus the up front storage and maintains it's aerodynamics more than most luggage.
Low seating is good for the height challenged and I like a high backrest....I have a Russel Daylong seat with the high backrest on my Burgman 650 and have done 1,000 km days comfortably.
I do not like the Honda DCT at all in automatic mode tho it paddle shifts okay.....it sucks compared the Burgman ECVT or the BMW CVT. One hopes that's not the only option on this but appears it is.
I imagine this bike is aimed somewhat in that category now the Silverwing is not being made.
Depends on the price.....this thing is a damn sight better than the DN-01 aka do not own 1.
At $11k Canadian it's in the same range as the Burgman Exec and the BMWGT650 but the 11 litre gas tank sucks even with 65 mpg 3.5 l/100 km
Still that offers a 300 km range - doable but just - lots of pit stops.
For a solo tourer...might be fine. From the looks there is a terrific weather protection - a variable windscreen would be useful on it
Welcome to the future boyos
