My opinion is that Honda has been spending the last six-seven years making some terrible mistakes in marketing- or, rather on deciding what to finish and bring to market.
BMW are just introducing a sporty and a tourer types in the 650cc engine size maxi-scooter category.
Just SIX years ago, Honda showed their concept that has never materialized-
1600 x 1200 pixel picture of left side E4-01 rear hub --- its a shaftie!
1600 x 1200 pixel picture of E4-01 dash - it has an Airbab & integrated GPS!
Under seat space for two jet-style helmets
17" wheels and a 903cc inline triple liquid-cooled engine.
Instead of THIS they marketed the
DN-01, to be followed by that chain-driven
Integra with 51HP (or 47HP) 670 cc a 270˚ crankshaft V-Twin engine and its 15 litres (0.53 cu ft) of under-seat storage.
