Nice to see that it has ABS and cruise control which will really make a nice middleweight tourer for those folks not wanting or being to handle a larger/taller bike but I have to say I'm not a fan of that tank and frame combo.  Yamaha has a similar frame/tank combo like that and I don't really like it.  About the only manufacturer that I can say has pulled off that frame geometry and still stayed sexy looking is the Ducati Monster and even then I wasn't exactly gasping over it.  But good on Honda for coming up with something other than the outdated Shadow platform.  Great bike just they haven't done anything new with it.

I kinda like it. Reminds me of the Indian Scout. Hope somebody is building some after market exhaust. That muffler is hideous. At 1100 cc and under 500lbs it otta scoot.
