I've not seen it yet, but like the paint scheme.  It looks like they took a 250 rebel or 250 nighthawk motor and opened it up to 400cc.  'Twould be interesting if they are going to import it into the USA.  Me thinks it would probably sell very well.   ;)



Prost!

Much as I like Hondas, I don't see the advantage over the SR500.  ?

I think it would do quite well in the US with female riders seeking out smaller bikes but don’t want some ugly 80's ninja.

man, I love return of old-school styling....... I'm all for modern marvels, but in a great many cases they've lost so much character in the process if you ask me.

Problem is, as much as us riders holler for the return of these older bikes, as soon as one becomes available we shun them in favor of a VFR, GSX-R......... just ook at Kawi's W650 for example
