Seems to only be availablein the U.S. at the moment but looks like it could give the Goldwing a run for the money!!

Looks very futuristic.

Bike magazine said it's a bit too vibey because of the twin compared to the silky smooth flat 6 of the goldwing.

Goldwings have had electronic cruise control since the 1500 started in 1988

One of the mags reviewed it, liked the handling, less so the engine. Now it was also supposed to the better looking in the flesh, but that might be a challenge. It looks like a Pan humped a Vespa and a child was born of this misbegotten union.

I think it's good because it's different. In the right colour that will be a very nice bike imo

Sort of got a 50s swoopy feel/look about it.
