This should suit all those who like the CTX1300 even better. Notice a trend in style and function at Honda?

:fp :eek    Not for me, or anyone else would be my guess....

I suspect that motorcyclists want motorcycles that look like motorcycles.   In my previous life, I found that there were very good reasons to design firearms far more ergonomically, but they looked unconventional and never caught on.   People wanted firearms that looked like classic firearms, and I suspect the same applies to motorcycles.   However I could be wrong and the Honda market researchers could have got it right.   :rofl

It looks like the offspring of a touring bike and a cruiser with a batwing :eek
