The Vultus has been selling as soon as they land in the showroom even though they are quite dear and is another model based on the NC700/750 chassis. The pillion seat folds forward to make a backrest for the rider.

Well, it's different! I'm not saying I like or dislike the bike. It's not my choice of style but then again neither are any of the cruisers to be honest.
But then, show a BMW GS to a teenager and they just reply "what's with the old man's bike? Where's yer Blade?"
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, some may like the Batmobile pictured above, I don't dislike it, but it's not for me.
Honda, the power of dreams.

I can see these type of things being popular with the commuting crowd, a scooter with more bike DNA than a Lambrettaesque jobbie.
The end of the road is the start of the fun



A bad day on the bike is still better than a good day at the office

I think it looks ok in the top picture, but from the other angles it just looks ungainly.
I can't really knock a bike manufacturer that takes a chance on a different style.
But if Honda really want to take a stab at something different, I wish they'd take a punt and put a reworked CRF450 engine in Rally Bike styled off roader, about 45bhp 110kg and about 6K.
