This is the new concept bike presented at the tokyo motor show

https://world.honda.com/news/2005/2051019_1.html

From what info I can gather...they claim it as a sports bike equipped with a continuously variable automatic transmission and a water-cooled, 4-stroke, OHC, V-type, 2-cylinder, 680cc engine. A newly adopted hydraulic mechanical continuously variable HFT (Human Fitting Transmission) system features two types of full automatic modes as well as a 6-speed manual mode which the rider operates through buttons located on the handle

I don't think it is a sports bike either. I think it looks more like a tourer...a sports tourer at the very most.

Personally, I think they have built it out of spares from unsold goldwings and is kinda unsigtly. But, other people I have showed this bike to either say it is cool, is butt ugly or warm to it eventually and have mixed opinions.

I suppose this bike is alot like Martmite!

Opinions?

Holding real judgment till I have given one a test ride.

it is not a sports bike but as a commuter / touring bike it may well be the dog dangles’ and a contender to be the Pans replacement.

So I will say cool if only for the fact it’s the first “new” idea I have seen in the orld of biking this year.

For a tourer it looks pretty cool i think.

To me it more and more seems like Marminte, either you love it or you hate.

But, according to the poll, more people compare it to a foul beast from satan's groinal region than to an angelic god sent thing of beauty.
