Not sure about the paint job :side:

[Crossrutted]

Looks like an overweight version of the new CCM :whistle:

[minkyhead]

first glance it looks lik a tenere from the side ....that box is way to far back

[herman]

Depends on the size of that rider but the screen looks like it is actually high enough and the seat height low to be able to rut paddle.

this is the bike I will never understand why honda stopped its production along with the transalp so I'm glad it's back. Unfortunately looks like honda keeps going in wrong direction,
1000cc??? what for? it will be again too heavy. From the pictures doesn't seem to have big ground clearance. If will not be heavier then 220kg (485lb) it may be my next bike anyway.

Good job someone mentioned what it was! Otherwise it could be a Yam, and Kwak - even a KTM!

The original had such street presence and individuality. Looks like this will just blend into the scenery with all the others!

on the other hand what can you come up with much different on two wheels?

I am worry about something else, not big ground clearance and knee angle too small
which is kinda related.

having seen the ajp pr7 if they build as the prototype it will made a big dent in the market !!!!!!!!

[Tramp]

yep the ajp pr7 with the 660cc engine will be hard to beat...but what about the suspension suppliers? thought the italians went ....PUFF..

different bikes though for different purposes..
