Honda's new V4 adventure sports machine?

2010's all about the tease, folks

Posted: 14 October 2010
by Visordown News

LOOK OUT: Another 'teaser' sketch has been revealed - this time by Honda, in the shape of what's believed to be the company's new V4 adventure touring bike.

We're getting decidely uneasy about this one. After all, 'adventure touring' kinda conjures up the image of an R1200GS carving through the dusty mountain roads of Southern Spain; it's not something we'd much fancy on what's anticipated to be an overweight, bulbous V4 trailie.

But still, it's here, sitting somewhere in a darkened room, covered by a sheet, probably quivering at the thought of being torn apart by the press at the upcoming Milan Motorcycle Show in November.

All will be revealed in less than a month, so watch this space for further details.

Just what the world needs, a giant high tech V4  adventure bike. I'd like to see someone repair that in a third world country.The BMW GS is already way to heavy and overly technical . Outside of thier main city dealerships , no one has the electronic diagnostic equipment to fix them.

What percentage of the R1200GS make it more than 200 miles from the dealer they were bought from, let alone another country, let alone a 3rd world one..!

Right. Slap about 40% more lard to the lithe concept sketch above, add Vtec, paddle shifter, chain drive and a 5 gallon tank and charge 15K for it. The usual Honda bait and switch.

Yeah, but... A lot of adventure bikes are basically comfy commuters with an upright riding position. Could find a niche there, although I'd not like to pay that money for the bike or the undoubtedly thirsty fuel habit.

I dunno what to make of all this. If IF Suzuki do go the CRT route, I reckon it would be a bit of a shame. But I can understand the reasons,...
