As a short guy that's watching sport-tourers be replaced with adventure-tourers, I can see buying one of these that's been dropped a time or two and do an old-school cafe strip down.
I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger

Honda's intention is obviously to jet-bike over the shark.

Feels like I've been here before, fuzzy then but still so obscure........

Seems someone at Honda forgot about the overwhelming success of the DN-01... :o


There. FTFY. Next years BNG nets you a the same rig that Kaneda rode in Akira. Is this a case of art imitating life, or the other way around?

Cue Kevin Spacey (from The Usual Suspects):

"Back when I was a kid in Guatemala we used to pick the beans right off the trees and roast our own coffee on the spot.  That was great.  This coffee is shit."

The Akira Bike Rocked.  HARD.

The Vulva doesn't rock.  At all.  And it even does that badly.

  :facepalm:
Lo and behold, we ride!

Oh, and does the Akira tire look like a Michelin Rain Race tire to anyone else?

These are already up on my local dealer's website.  They are priced in the $10k bracket, then again it's only a 670cc, too. 

I don't think they checked in with youth culture on the nomenclature - the Honda NeverMind.  :lol:  :P
