Honda Adventure bike concept based on the 1200 VFR. Looks terrible, but can't help but notice the similarity to the Multistrada.

this bike so wants to be a gs(a)... and isn't.
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.
The Doc
the gs is an overweight barge as well as well as being as ugly as a hatfull of arseholes , so no real difference ;)
but just reading on the GS 33 Litres of fuel [thumbsup]
bet the honda doesnt have more than 20
I think it fits perfectly into the Adventure Touring segment. Bmw GS looks with Honda reliability and hopefully price. Nice!
[thumbsdown]
Besides the CBR250, is Honda offering anything interesting this year?
Honda designers took a lot of ugly pills this year.

No, they just ran out of pretty pills.
A touring bike that never breaks down and can run for days with out a drop of oil or water. May come in handy.
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.

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.

This will be an unpopular comment but I don't think it's any uglier than the new Multi. All the bikes in this "class" aren't exactly pretty. It's no worse than a GS, V-Strom, etc.

I don't have a problem with that comment. They are all ugly, espcially the front ends and headlights. At their best they look ruggedly tough from certain angles.
Thanks. I don't get much positive back up on this forum. [laugh] [laugh]
