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.

Re: HONDA ,s latest stealth machine
I kinda like the quirky looks, I like that Honda are trying to create new markets and attract new people to bikes.moto al wrote:it looks like something out of batman.
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

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

Re: HONDA ,s latest stealth machine
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!
An Adventure is not a tank transfer.

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

Re: HONDA ,s latest stealth machine
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.
The Alligator(2009..or earlier??)

Re: HONDA ,s latest stealth machine
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.
