Correction: It's like the DN-01 owner called up wanting a newer version

I see what you did there.

Yup, I checked the date, and this thing is still posted on April 3.

What an abortion on wheels.
Honda needs to get its act together and hire some real motorcycle designers or whats left of their market share will evaporate.

do not like it...that dan gurny bike looks interesting though..

Honda didn't go far enough. To really pull it off, they needed to specify equally unusual mechanicals. Say a rotary engine, RADD suspension, 2WD, titanium frame, carbon fiber wheels and whisper-quiet aerodynamics. Plus, a genuinely comfortable seat and bars (fully adjustable).

As it stands, it's just a CTX700 with extra-strange bodywork.

I don't think a $40,000 experiment would sell any better

I really like it. The styling is cool. The multi-colour dash is a little overdone, but overall it's cool. The dual clutch tranny is an interesting idea.

Aesthetically the design is a joke. Looks like a a result of a manage-trois between a scooter, a cruiser and a jetski. Good luck selling that anywhere. Automatic transmission is the final nail in the coffin.
