why no other company is copying frunk idea from honda?

I test rode the NC in thinking it could take over the duties of my Versys 650 but I found it boring and more like a white good than a bike. However with the "frunk" and the fuel economy I would have one to commute on if it was an option.

I had a Honda PC800 in the US--the Pacific Coast--so faired in you couldn't see anything but smooth plastic including the front disc etc (and NO visible external fasteners--to peel it you started with the clip in side vents). That 800 cc V twin was twin spark and a 3 valver--and like a turbine---air came in through the rad, between the engine and the fully insulated and encapsulating engine cowling UNDER the plastics , and out through a hole in front of the rear wheel--sooooo quiet!. It had different shocks left to right--and would cruise flat out all day at about 90 mph (done it--and got stopped by a Virginia State trooper!)---but to the point---the rear seat and side pod tops were all one and lifted up revealing a full trunk in which you could easily drop two large bags of shopping--and mine had the radio option stored in the corner of the trunk with the controls on the handlebar--those were the 80s!!

PC800's awesome......I love exciting bikes but I also love the option of them being practical. Even if you do necessarily get both those attributes at the same time.

VW Beetle was the first I think.

I'd far rather have an exciting motorcycle than a frunk.

one doesn't exclude the other.

It does if we're talking about a honda NC700.

Thanks for the PC 800 pic-brought back memories---when I picked it up secondhand it had never seen rain--it was raining--guy was heartbroken! I outran a HD "tractor" near Milwaukee with an indicated 105 on the clock--and being a Brit and used to curves it was one of the fastest bikes on our trips down from Springfield , Illinois down to Arkansas--I was in the Springfield Milers (after the famous mile oval flat track--even seen Nicky Hayden ride flat track before he really got into Moto GP).
