He says they'll be going over the entire bike, top to bottom & front to back. He wants it 100% perfect, ride it a few time this summer and then sell it.

That looks amazing! Damn I thought you'd bought it!

I was in love with those bikes when they launched.

If BW bought that, he'd be posting from a Motel 6 after his wife tossed him out of the house.

You probably not too wrong.
But no Motel 6 nearby...

The Maple Leaf Motel will have to do.

Shivers...wait...which one is that? The motel or the "hotel"? Fack...lived here 28? yrs and I don't know. Any case...I'll take neither thanks.

Never say never. If people rattle enough cages, Honda might change its mind.

They look great. Retro style but with modern tires and brakes -- just like they should've done with the Kawi W800.

Its like a bigger version my old TU250X with an appreciated extra 100CCs.

A little bit I'm wanting a new Van Van for riding on the beach, or downtown.
I should trade my wife's DR200SE for one, she'd probably go for it.

That or a Yamaha TW?

Either would be cool

Except for the name plate under the headlight, look tacky.

Other than the exhaust sticking out too far back I think it is a total and complete aesthetic win. Terrific looking cruiser.

Given that their current demographic already has one collective foot in the grave, that seems wise - if spectacularly belated.

it lines up with the rear tire...however, you can always replace the exhaust system with something aftermarket (which would also likely allow a CAT-delete) that would improve exhaust flow and sound.
