My friend in CT as Bones mentioned has a 2010, it is a great bike lots of torque and very nimble! Only complaint was the gas tank size but that is fixed now! I really like the bike and am thinking about adding it to the stable! I have also helped add several farkles to the bike.

Let me know if you need any further information!

Tall saddle height on both bikes, although not as high as my xr650l was, 37 inches made for some interesting stops off road, and not being nimble like a 20 year old
I found myself looking at the sky more than once.

No... read down... it's got the 32litre tank, tweaked engine... it doesn't say when available in US...
Hmm... I was thinking it would be a 2012 year model... interested...

I think they did their homework. Hopefully the plastic tank can take our ethanol. Kind of cool how it is part of the fairing. Are those lights mounted by the exhaust pipe? Sure looks like it's built stout. Wheels should be able to carry 3,000lb each!

not sure about hte dual clutch system tho...would have to ride one to see what it's like....
Yeah, looks good... not sure what the price point will be on it though.. I have a feeling it will be well more than what an ST costs today. Also, some concepts hit production level quickly and some don't.. that one sure looks like it's ready to hit the production line and with the new plant in Japan built maybe that's one of the surprises Honda has in line for us.
