Really confusing where Honda wants to place it.
Its got cross spoke wheels (to mount tubeless tires), 1200cc engine, high ground clearance, crash guards, shaft drive etc that puts it squarely with the BMW 1200GS or Yamaha Supertenere 1200 as a Adventure Tourer bike that can be comfortably ridden on or off road. But a V4 power plant & probably high bhp figures would put it closer to Ducati Multistrada 1200 which is more inclined to a sport tourer since a V4 power plant looks like an overkill for a adventure tourer (increased parts, weight, maintenance, fuel consumption etc). Or probably Honda wants to make a separate high power adventure tourer segment for themselves. Interesting to see what happens since the new VFR1200 anyway has not been a super success in the sport touring segment.Last edited by Haroon; 10-22-2011, 10:04 PM.
