It appears Honda are still cutting back while trying to appear to offer choice (like the XCross and Mid Concept).

As with 2010 I see no real tourers and where's the VFR?
That could mean no 'new' models, as in they're still makingthe old ones but haven't changed the colour of a body panel or changed a few bolts for the new season.

Think I'll go and look at Kawasaki.

They're pretty clear that it's a economical single cylinder with usable torque in traffic, not a knees-down Sunday rocket.

I'm thinking of it as a Ninja with a YBR engine - I'd like to give it a try, but I doubt we'll see many of them over here.

I wouldn't mind giving the Crossrunner a test ride, if only out of curiosity of how an 800cc V4 rides.
I really don't think I'd be parting with any £££'s for ANY of the new models though

They need to hire someone to design the exhausts properly

The Mid Concept looks interesting.

I like the look of the V4 big trailie thingy, sort of Varadero/VFR...

Is that an 800cc V4 sports-tourer-motard thingy with shaft drive I see before me?

That has mildly piqued my interest which is more than any other bike I've seen made in the last 10 years or so has managed to achieve.

Wonder how much it weighs.

I'm not totally convinced by the whole dual clutch malarkey yet though. Early days.

Fugly, fugly, Fugly, Fugly, Fugly.

I'm sorry but not one of their bikes appeal to me. Honda have got some serious design problems. They may well be fantastic bikes but they are as ugly as sin.

What a shit website, show the new bikes by covering half of them up with text. A child could have done better.

and have an infuriating slideshow feature you can't turn off. Honda I want to look at these bikes in detail not a 5 second glimpse where half of it is covered up. Spastic web designers.

All look pretty dull to me. Typical Honda.

Yes, but that's the 1200, not the 800 (which is a chain)

Most of it are over-designed some I think that would not be necessary but I like to have a test run of those bikes.
