[98tls]

:laugh:Sweet,you lot could ride from cafe to cafe never spilling a drop from the "anniversary edition" latte holder.

[jafar]

Nowhere to put the saddlebags or other touring stuff:argh:
Floorboards a la scooter?
Automatic transmission?
Honda's answer to the bergman perhaps?
Will be interesting to see the retail price on it.

[Big Dave]

Swapping for the Goldwing tomorrow.

61 horsepower driving an automatic transmission (which will devour ponies like a French restaurateur). I would like to see a picture of someone riding it - looks like sports bike fairings on a cruiser - the seat height and handlebars will place the rider in an upright position well above the fairing - so it's essentially an underpowered cruiser with a sports fairing on the front.

I wonder who their market is?

I wonder who their market is? Bike journos.Right or wrong some somewhere will find a hidden meaning between the lines and put out with there hard earned.Its one of those fairytales really where everyone ends up happy.The people that made it,the journo that wrote it and the guy that bought it,no matter what the tailender has proof in writing that it was a great purchase.:2thumbsupBit like the construction worker that goes out and buys a 1098 to ride to work and spirited sunday arvo rides with the 5 times yearly load her up and do the south isle.

I'm suprised it's not a hybrid

Lol....reckon those Gold Wings would have been quite a few kilograms lighter by the end of that road judging by the amount of scraping going on!!
Still, pretty damn impressive :)

Still, pretty damn impressive :) Yes it is.Hes posted up in an American based forum a bit (while back) and an interesting guy for sure.His comments on "blimp wearing latest sportbike riders" are funny for sure.

I'll find out tomorrow - but I imagine it will be an effective urban transport vehicle.

Cross over between Scooter and motorcycle. Makes sense to me in so far as the way modern 250 and 500cc scooters go its ludicrous to have 14" wheels and a modern 700cc motor is more than enough for the speed limit.

Plus it's different. Some people won't get their heads around that. Some of us cherish it.

They have well sorted 'scrape pucks'. A lump on the bodywork that hits after the pegs.

I thought your medication was helping.

[Conquiztador]

"Human Friendly Transmission" ?

None of the ones I have had have ever been unfriendly to me.

What this one gonna do to me that the others have not? Suck my dick?

[The Pastor]

it makes my head hurt + the dinosar told me not to take it as it makes you crazy

[Pwalo]

So I gather it's not the RCV213 then?

[Big Dave]

It's a nice vehicle. Extremely easy to ride. It's only mid power, but all so easy.

Like a Scooter - until you look at the speedo. 80! Sheeeeet.

Like a scooter - with SV650 Brakes and handling.

Like a Scooter - but comfortable at open road speeds.

The Automatic gearbox is impressive - Sports, economy or tripronic modes.

Ridden it round for 2 hours - haven't scraped anything yet.

[Robbo]

I do actually quite like it. Like all other odd ball or different bikes that have preceeded this one over the years i am sure that there will be a market for this one. Would like to see it in the flesh.

I stick by my Pancake comment.

Looks like flapjacks on wheels. Odd bars too. They comfy?

Yeah seem so - I'm too big for it - we'll photograph the Ed on it, but it's comfy, yeah.
