Hopefully this comes to the States. Too bad no shaft drive...

At first glance, I presumed this to be the ST 1300's replacement. But, no shaft drive? On a touring bike? WTF. With the shrinkage of the current 'Wing, it reminds me of the ST 1300 from the front. (never understood why they didn't name/market it as the Silver Wing)Agree, shaft drive would make it much more appealing. The other sad bit is that the appearance of this bike probably means an updated Honda ST will never happen. Something I’ve hoped Honda was secretly working on.
The VFR was a V4 with DCT, but poor mileage, lackluster sales, and Euro 5 compatibility expense, sent it to the crusher.So, this is the new ST(1300). I'm sure that it was gonna require too much redesign to put the DCT on the V-4. And, since everybody loves the DCT . . . .
No cruise controlLooks like a nice bike, very similar to the VFR1200X (Crosstourer). I'm still kicking myself in the ass for not buying one when Honda was unloading leftover 2017 models for $10,000.
Yes, I know. That's what I meant though, I didn't understand why they didn't use it for the ST13.Sierra, Honda used the Silver Wing name in U.K. and Europe but not for the ST1300

Really? That is a surprise! I was sure it has cruise control operated by a button on the RHS switchgear? I think it is a massive over-sight by Honda if it doesn’t because with ride-by-wire throttle, it is so easy to incorporate and in this Honda Europe press release, it clearly states that cruise control is standard.No cruise control
Sorry dude i was referring to the 1200 Crosstourer or whatever that tank of a bike is called.Really? That is a surprise! I was sure it has cruise control operated by a button on the RHS switchgear?

2022 HONDA NT1100
A new breed of Honda tourer makes its debut. Taking the heart of the CRF1100L Africa Twin as a starting point, the NT1100 builds on the platform to offer comfortable, agile, enjoyable performance. A low seat height and sharp steering geometry combine with high specification suspension to create...hondanews.eu
There was also the CX650 based (called the GL650) Guzzi-like v-twin tourer that first used the Silver Wing name back in the ‘80s I think.The Silver Wing scooter was sold here in the States as well.
It does seem odd that this is the Honda sport touring offering but no shaft drive, no cruise, etc. Maybe if it's selling at a lower price that will bring in people?
The VFR1200X was available in 2 versions the DCT and a 6 speed manual. There were lots of good reviews on the bike and if I remember correctly it was listed as putting out 125 hp. I test rode one shortly after buying my S10 and was impressed.The VFR was a V4 with DCT, but poor mileage, lackluster sales, and Euro 5 compatibility expense, sent it to the crusher.
Yes, yet another reason why the ST13 should have had the Silver Wing moniker. 650 + 650 = 1300.There was also the CX650 based (called the GL650) Guzzi-like v-twin tourer that first used the Silver Wing name back in the ‘80s I think.
