This must be Honda's new marketing plan, Jump on the band-wagon when the fad is starting to die out. It is nice looking though!

Definitely look like they pulled the VTX 1300's motor and dropped it directly in this frame. Overall it looks unfinished to me.

Won't want to go more than 70 miles at a time. Tank is really small.

Wrong... it has a 3.4 Gallon stretched tank and a typical VTX 1300 gets around 50mpg. That sounds like approx a 175 mile capacity. That smokes my fat lady. Looks like a great bike. The pic posted on this thread doesn't do it justice. Google it and check it out.

Since there are no firm stat's on this bike yet as far as actual preformance, I will wait till more info comes out before disagreeing with mpg. It will be interesting to see what the Motorcycle mags think about this machine.
