I'm ok with no adjustable screen and chain drive. I find it harder and harder to find something I find visually appealing to buy without getting into custom exotic pricing :)

It has the early Honda Interceptor look as well as my current Kawi ZR-7S.

I did find the blended fairing/tank/sidepanels of the 1000 Interceptor to be more pleasing than the similar, though distincly less flowing bodywork of my V45 Interceptor. Though I welcomed the extra ponies the 1000 brought to the table, I preferred the balanced 750 better.

The first pics @Obo posted made me think I was looking at an early Suzuki Bandit 1200.
Maybe Honda doesn't plan to import it to the US because Americans have a hard time pronouncing words with apostrophes (unlike our multilingual @Peppermint), unless we invent them ourselves.
Know what I mean, y'all? And by the way, "y'all" ain't French. Meaning, it's not a French word. You can be French if you like.
Or like "ain't", that has an apostrophe too, but we made that one, too.
There are others, but we'll save them for later. Or you can come up with other examples.
Or you can all just go back to talking motorcycles, that'll be OK.
(I forgot I'm not in the daily Coffee thread, my bad.)

Prob better on a white bike.. not a terrible effort but could have been better... I always liked a white ST..
Me too!
That likely explains why I admire the police bikes as I do.
That red / blue / silver paint scheme just misses the mark (no pun intended) for me; shoulda been red / blue / white.
Yeah, definitely white.
