I kind of like it.

Hmmmmm without the pizza box, it looks like Honda's encroaching on the Harley Street Glide look.  Interesting!!!!

The red looks pretty cool, the website didn't have any good size pics of it though, last I checked.

It really does look like the HD - I just wish I could see more of the engine and less of the plastic body work. I always liked the looks of the wing motor but didn't like what they did to the Valkyrie.

Honda is bringing out a new wing in 2013 and offering a $1000 discount on the 2012. Wonder if they are trying to use up the 2012's with a custom look. Testing the waters.

I like it a lot, but it doesn't come with cruise or reverse. Hopefully Honda will make the needed changes.

Really DOES look like an HD (in a way) The HD guys/gals already whine and cry because the OTHER Japanese bikes (V twins)  look and sound almost like their PRECIOUS.

I think the  styling is spot on for the target market.  I got a chance for a test fitting at the International Motorcycle Show a couple of weeks ago.  The ergos are great.  Of course this comes from a former Gold Wing owner so YMMV    I loved that motorcycle for everything except ground clearance on the spirited twisties.  The black F6B is sexy!

...or a center stand, unless you buy the Deluxe model. They're trying everything they can think of to get younger riders used to the idea of owning a Wing and not calling it The Old Man Bike. The idea being that as they age, those riders will find transition to a full Wing easy to swallow. So the styling may be spot on for that market segment. But I think folks who pay 20 large for one of those canal boats will still want the reverse and cruise. You haven't lived till you try to back an 800 pound motorcycle uphill out of a parking space.
