Re: New Tourer announced today
Very good point I didn't even consider that possibility. Things that make you go hhhmmmm hopefully they will work out something to deal with those tip overs to protect the Tupperware.

???? Honda hasn't introduced a new touring V twin cruiser in years and those are based on the VTX1300 motor that's 15 years old.

Wrong answer, it's a V-Twin:

She's Israeli and probably has more time in the IDF than she does in movies so no it's not bad. I only know her from the Fast and Furious franchise.kendoo said:

Yamaha is kicking the butt of Honda. Look at the comfort of the leg positions...adjustable screen... Honda had a good run, but it's over...they have derailed. I would buy a FJR if my ST gives out.

Re: New Tourer announced today
But, I can't really fault Honda or Yamaha: Old folks have the cash, and they want the cruisers.
Just not this particular old guy!
It's not so much about the motor as the malaise of yet another cruiser. My impression is that Honda is spending their time chasing the Harley Davidson cruiser market instead of doing what they do (or did) best, which was win on race day.

Re: New Tourer announced today
So true, and mine was bought last August and I only have just over 20000 kms, 12000 miles on her and I love her. I did ride the FJR at demo days and she was a dream bike for sure.
Re: New Tourer announced today
Yes! Well said about the 'Merican Malaise Motorcycle Market.
Yamaha's latest example proves it. Same old Rosie O'Donnell (air cooled V-twin), just in a new dress (gee whiz, electronic infotainment system).
Old? Your profile lists 46. You and I are practically babies in certain motorcycle crowds. :lol:Just not this particular old guy!

Re: New Tourer announced today
and if 46 is old, I was old decades ago. What does that make me now? ancient? lol
yea even the dealers didn't know what to expect. I'll be talking to mine later today to see what he thinks.
