Title: Honda Adventure bike concept Post by: Travman on November 02, 2010, 05:10:09 PM Honda Adventure bike concept based on the 1200 VFR. Looks terrible, but can't help but notice the similarity to the Multistrada.

Title: Re: Honda Adventure bike concept Post by: Doctor Woodrow on November 02, 2010, 08:37:24 PM Looks a bit heavy to me ( I said LOOKS, not IS) like it has what we call in the medical world 'a Pedulous Abdomen'. Yet another way for a doctor to be absolutely and undeniably correct, yet make you feel terrible, embarrassed, and wronged all at the same time. This thing just doesn't look like it would fit the bill for spirited riding of any kind.

but just reading on the GS 33 Litres of fuel [thumbsup] bet the honda doesnt have more than 20 Title: Re: Honda Adventure bike concept Post by: EverettShadowbrook on November 02, 2010, 09:07:06 PM I think it fits perfectly into the Adventure Touring segment. Bmw GS looks with Honda reliability and hopefully price. Nice!

Title: Re: Honda Adventure bike concept Post by: Latinbalar on November 03, 2010, 11:21:05 AM A touring bike that never breaks down and can run for days with out a drop of oil or water. May come in handy.
Title: Re: Honda Adventure bike concept Post by: Triple J on November 03, 2010, 01:11:09 PM Gawd damn that thing is ugly! [thumbsdown] No bikes in this segment are sexy, but C'MON HONDA!!!
Sad, because the 800 V4 is a great motor. Title: Re: Honda Adventure bike concept Post by: poseur on November 04, 2010, 07:19:54 AM (http://www.latimes.com/media/photo/2010-11/57317530.jpg)
this theoretical adventure-tourer would use the same 1,237 cc V4 power plant and dual clutch transmission packaged with crash bars, hand guards, a taller windscreen and aluminum panniers.

It's no worse than a GS, V-Strom, etc. Title: Re: Honda Adventure bike concept Post by: derby on November 04, 2010, 08:33:58 AM This will be an unpopular comment but I don't think it's any uglier than the new Multi.

At their best they look ruggedly tough from certain angles.Title: Re: Honda Adventure bike concept Post by: fastwin on November 04, 2010, 07:02:04 PM Thanks. I don't get much positive back up on this forum. [laugh] [laugh]
