Damn wheelbase is nuts...!!

Hard for me to believe people buy these things.

If I had $250,000 burning a hole in my pocket I'd have one! Might need somewhere other then Pole Line Road to 'test' it though.

I am not sure your arms are long enough, but respect the desire to open that puppy up.

BST wheels on a 500 PLUS pound bike? Crazy.

Kawasaki bringing the touring to Team Green.

Looks pretty sweet.

I gotta ask, when you say "Looks pretty sweet" so you mean aesthetics or perceived functionality?

 

[budman]

Looks... just the looks. It is heavyish so

Ack. Hurts my eyes. Big time. But that applies to a LOT of bikes in this century for me.

 

[FLH03RIDER]

I really, really miss this bike! A good looking and proper Grand Tourer !!!

I could easily see this as Flying Hunn's next bike.

That is who I thought of too. Great minds......

Special edition livery- my favorite of them all. Will be outrageously priced but there will enough people to lap these up


Tricilore Italia

 

[budman]

That is beautiful.

But so impractical.

Reminds me of your 155 BB edition

Whenever I see those wings I just think $1000 garage tip over. Has anyone had one of these and, you know, tipped over?

....there in-lies the beauty.

Looks like the Unicorn market is revving up. Yet another new 400 Adventure bike hitting the USA in the $6500 range.

Beta Alp

 

[CDONA]

Oh oh, CF Moto and Beta, same shop, I came home with a Beta brochure, yesterday after drooling on the Ibex. Should a 73 year old be looking at Beta's ?
X-Trainer, or trials, electric trials?

 

[ThumperX]

I purchased the Beta Explorer and it’s a blast.

 

[CDONA]

That is what they call it, all I've ever heard was "Zapper"
Didn't find it in the brochure.
Wouldn't an E-Trialer be the best power/weight, over an afternoon of use?

The Honda Hornet CB1000 SP comes to the US in April, already listed on the Honda US website. Props to Honda for keeping the price inline with the (very competitive) EU pricing at $10,999. I'm sure we will see a lot of these bikes on local roads...
