This is promising! Hopefully the first of many, but knowing Honda the potentially high price might the end up positioning it against the 690/701.
Indeed, but i must say, even though I think it's ugly as hell compared to a 690/701 I will definitely consider something like this depending on the weight and price of course.
This might just be the holy grail MANY MANY have been waiting for. 450 lightweight thumper, modern 6 speed and reliable without MX service intervals. I'd buy it. WilI replace my 690 for it. I highly doubt it. My bet is this 450 will be porkier than the 690.
But this is the first thing from Honda that truly excites me in ....well...forever.
