Hmmmmmmmmm.

An ugly motorcycle 

i dunno if i'd call it ugly just yet. but i don't think i can call it beautiful either. maybe umm..."unique". 

ugly ?
fugly ?
one year wonder ?
next year's "discontinued" ?
holy shaZam! batman - $14 grand ?


Hmm, looks like a hummer H2 ate a vespa and took a shaZam!. Much as I love me some honda, that's a steaming pile. Oh, and it has two things I don't like: Plastic (GOBS) and cruiser esque.

Yuck

Looks like a goldwing with down syndrome.

Ghey

That is without a doubt one of the most ghastly things I've ever seen.  It's hideous.  Honda must have been in such a hurry to get their CVT bike on the market that it passed straight through the engineering department without their design crew ever seeing it.  Perhaps if I were disabled and couldn't shift, I might have an interest, but even then, it would be all about this:

...you can even store a full face helmet where you'd expect your gas tank to be! 

think that's ghastly?  look at victory models.  I don't think it looks too bad but I'm drawn so much to the wheels...I LOVE those wheels...and the CVT...that'll get more chicks on bikes and chicks on bikes are hot.

Eh, I guess I'd prefer the chick that likes to do the work.  But then again, I couldn't fault her for riding that Mana...

As for Victory, the Vision series is right up there. 

Anyone know if Honda is using that 680cc V-twin anywhere else?  Surely they could find a more attractive wrapper for a middleweight V-twin.

It took me awhile to get used to the looks of that victory, but that honda looks ridiculous.

I'm gonna go with Heinous. It's like a 12k scooter. Ghey.

Before when this was brought up if was mostly cool, now its mostly ghey, amazing how things change 

I had seen that before but just figured it was an unusual concept vehicel surrounding some serious mechanicals - new engine maybe for larger VLX and automatic transmission for new scooters- but,  Damn. That's ugly.

I was looking at a dealers page, did anyone else also notice a topline Goldwing now costs the same as a one year used Ridgeline!!!!!!

Yea, that crap is the next Honda Valkyrie Rune.
Cool.
Buddha.

Yeah, thats honda doing what honda does.  They have a weird market but some really weird customers too.

  that reply was so f%$king funny it took me 10 minutes to stop laughing to read the others.  as i've stated, i don't really have an opinion on the bike itself, but dear God that price is freaking insane.

I think I have to say, that's one of the best lines I've ever heard.

I hope that cvt transmission isn't anything like the cvt's in civics- they are terrible to drive- feels like the trans is constanly slipping- because for the most part it is as the pulleys change diameters. They suck.
