I quote from the Honda's press release:
"these
motorcycles amplify the enjoyment of
motorcycling by giving riders the
impression that they really can go
anywhere, even if for most riders
'anywhere' remains close to home."
And later:
"Honda research has found that most buyers of large, touring class
motorcycles are older, usually
married, and would prefer to share the pleasures of riding with their
spouses whenever possible."
I don't know about you, but for me anywhere isn't close to home,
off-road isn't backroads and I am not an older married guy.
If Honda really wants this kind of clients, well I am certainly not
married to Honda, and I am free to buy any other motorcycle that fits my
idea of a good bike, Honda or not!!!
