That's one F'ugly beast.
Open your eyes and you see what is in front of you, open your mind and you see a bigger picture but open your heart and you see a whole new World.

I kinda like the quirky looks, I like that Honda are trying to create new markets and attract new people to bikes.

Can't see me ever owning one though, but I'll take the option of a ride on one if it comes my way.

In the end, it's what it rides like that is important - unless you prefer looking at your bikes to riding them.
Mistakes are natures way of showing us we have more to learn

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.
How come, every time Al puts a picture up of shite, people always make comprehensions with the biglad (gs), are people actually buying this

As a 21st century high average speed economical transport machine then it's the perfect article. (thumbs)
Probably not for the hobby/sport/adventure motorcyclist, but then it isn't aimed at this minority user group.
Lightness is everything.

Lightness with Grunt is a Scratcher!

It looks to me as though Honda are heading towards making this a reality:

The CONCEPT is not new & was developed by world famouse racing driver Dan Gurney.
Unfortunately never brought to a production stage probably through lack of funding confidence because of it's then radical design.

Not my cup of tea but hats off to Honda for trying something different.

If you had told me 2 years ago that I would buy a bike styled like the NC700X and that it would be DCT I wouldn't have believed you, sometimes you don't know what you like until someone shows you something different.
