No mention of what bike it might be.
Doesn't make any difference. We'll manage to hate it whatever it is. :rofl1: I'd like to think it would include more than one bike. Thanks for the heads up though.

The Eicma International Motorcycle Show held in Milan Italy is the 06-12 of November 2017.
Doesn't appear related, but would be a natural place after the Big Reveal in October.

Probably a "Bagger" version of the Africa Twin! Short lil windshield, big ol' panniers, dropped in the butt and painted satin flat black...

It's ugly as sin, and nobody's going to pay that much for it.

(Just thought I'd get that in before everybody else does.)

Honda will be announcing that they're leaving the Powersport business entirely. They sold all drawings, designs, tooling, trademarks, rights, etc.to Kymco. It will be interesting to watch how the Goldwing fares under Kymco.

It'll be the new Honda Atlantic Coast... instead of a big old trunk under the seat, it will have huge jowl-like panniers hanging off the sides of the front forks.

Rest assured that whatever it is the design team will not have been influenced by input from loyal customers, nor the thoughts, ideas and requests from the members of this site.

They've decided to take the NM4 to the next level... the 1300 motor replacing the 670... but they haven't figured out just how to make the sissy bar any uglier. However, they expect to have it nailed by the end of October.

Oh... and full length running boards to complete the scooter look. Available on the Pacific Coast in Sea Foam Turquoise.

(Apologies to any actual NM4 owners... but if you own one you have to be used to the ribbing by now)

No, no, no, they are putting knobby tires and a roll cage on it. The new Adventure Touring Bike!!

Seems to be an annual disappointment the past few years! :nanner1:
I'm glad that the Powersports dealer in town here isn't Honda. . I would hate the disappointment every time I went in. It's a Kawi-Zuki-Can Am dealer and he really treats me right when I stop in just to say 'hey'. Course I usually find something for my Versys :).
