Yes it does, it is the modern version of the UJM or standard. The adventure look gives it the attitude, the upright ergos makes it comfortable, and the VFR engine provides some boost. Great marketing strategy, worked for the Multistrada. This bike has no category? Yes it does, it is the modern version of the UJM or standard.

I would probably buy if it didn't have the VTEC. I would buy the CBF1000 tomorrow if they brought it down to the States from Canada.

Steel tube frame, wire spoke rims, decent suspension and a 425 lb curb weight. Naked of course. I’m still waiting on Suzuki to make a true dual sport, using the great SV650 engine.

So then, buy or don't buy, but whatever you do don't comment on why you have chosen to do one or the other. Right then. A personal affront? No, but surely a big disappointment (to me) from a manufacturer who used to inspire and lead. Oh wait, I was commenting again, wasn't I? Sorry 'bout that.

My DL1000 is mo-fugly, and I catch a lot of abuse from my buddies - but it just plain works. Now, if Honda brought the CB1300 state-side... :-) It’s a nice bike, but I would likely not buy it.

Suzuki got it right with their X-Strom line. Honda needs to fire their product planners ASAP. The engine in this bike is way too complicated for the bike’s designed purpose.

It looks about perfect for a slightly older rider 45, who used to get his knee down, and now wants a fun comfortable sporty all day everyday ride! Please Honda bring this bike to the USA!!!!!!!

I believe I've read that Honda's sales are doing pretty well, especially on the world scene, so they must be finding a target audience. What it boils down to is if you don't like what they dish out and everything they've brought to market in the past 10 years is junk..DON"T BUY THEM! I don't understand the whining that goes on here. Some of you guys sound like it's a personal affront and Honda as a whole should be taken out and shot. GO BUY SOMETHING ELSE!
