Looks fatter. Better coverage/protection....or just want to look like a Beemer. Changed the headlight to damn projectors. I prefer "old style" halogens.

This is a typical threat of the wives, when they have one of those days, but that can be applied to our S10 ... "you will realize how good I was, when you do not have me anymore":):)

Can you say "artist rendition"

Nothing ever printed in a motorcycle magazine was ever true. That's why they call them "rags". When you see one in the showroom, then you know it happened. Until then, don't hold your breath. Honda could have a lot of fun building a 850cc, shaft drive adventure bike with tubeless tires, just to piss off every idiot that bought the CRF1000L. Or, then could drop even further behind and put a magneto and kick start on the AT and drop that heavy battery. ;)

The only way I see Honda coming out with an 850 is if they bump up the AT to 1100-1200cc and go whole hog with more power and gizmos first. Till then an 850 would only poach sales from the AT

If Honda actually did build something like that I would most likely get pretty interested in buying one but it also have to come with cruise control ,self canceling turn signals and DCT.

Honda would be better off if they shipped some of the X-ADV scooters to the US. 748cc It may even have self canceling turn signals.

On your next trip to the EU? Should be fun.
Yeah checked the place I rented in the UK last year once you linked it, they don't rent them. Probably unrealistic to expect anyone to do it. Might have too much HP to rent to people with lower class lic that would want a "scooter". Can probably get a 750GS or whatever on the same lic.
