I had a guy a work show me the article and what was the first thing I see? Yep pipes on the wrong side and worst yet built on a Shadow platform. New HONDA  imo SUCKS and is behind the times. The ol Man is prolly screming from the grave. Ol Honda is the best. I hope they dont make fools of themselves and actually bring this to market. Leave the Scrambler to Triumph, they did it right. Honda would have made big bucks if they produced the Fury while OCC was booming. Too little to late. I will say this though,Cobra and HONDA teamed up and made a pretty sweet Magna back in 96  "Magnafied"

I like 'em.  ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Guys, I just unloaded the last of 5 bikes I took to the Greenville show. The concept Scrambler was there and I have to tell you - that retro bike is very, very well done. The Honda guys hooked up with me early this morning to put my 1965 CL77 and their concept bike together for photos. I'll post the two nose to nose later this week. The cool thing is that their right side pipes worked-out perfectly since mine showed the left when nosed to the retro.

Nice going.....Gordon!..............Just think about the custom potential for the VT500FT and all the low-buck$ VT models available.

I also saw this at the Greenville show, very nicely done. 

The 750 flat tracker was nice also.
