I found some new photos, it looks gorgeous!
I just don't like the display in the center of speedometer, I prefer fully visible needle :)
And one article in dutch, but with professional photos: http://www.scooternews.nl/nieuws/honda- ... 4-preview/
They say it will be available in May 2014 and with price just below 3000 €

The remote alarm is only on the premium model. Other features for the premium model include blue less around the ignition key hole and matte effect paint.

Not sure about overseas but here in Vietnam the cost is an extra $250... not really worth it to me. Matte paintwork is really overplayed and doesn't really suit modern vehicles imo.

I don't like led lights at all.
Rest of it looks good though, pity there's still no 200cc option.

The rear area reminds me of the Silverwing. I like the changes but I wouldn't trade up unless they offered a 200cc version.

GN2 -- whats wrong with LEDs? They're the future; they don't burn out hardly ever, use almost no power, and give superior lighting. I don't see what's not to like.

GN2 do you prefer candles and oil lamps? Do they make you more comfortable? Maybe a steam engine conversion too? Along with digital water injection?

Don't like the colour and the ones used as daytime running lights here are far too bright.
Also don't like the silly shapes used, long thin strips of them, look like something off a gaudy Christmas tastelessnessfest.
And don't get me started on hid lamps, they are fitted to cars driven by cunts.

For me, like GN2, I'm not stuck on the look of the rear led light block - looks tacky to me and I've seen far, far better on other vehicles on the road. I've never been stuck on the chrome handle bar used on old and the new model either - much prefer a black one, but you can't have everything.

I'll be as bright as I can be in daylight if it gives me a chance to be seen by car drivers better.

LED DRLs are getting silly on cars

Seems good coverage up front. I would still prefer more of a spread than the line of leds at the back, but as long as it's bright and lasts, not bad. May be able to change the layout with 3rd party at some point, but all the upgrades for the 2014 version seem worthwhile.

A really novel and extremely feature is the seat stays up when you open it fully. How many times have you been rooting around holding the seat open with your head? :)

But they don't help with the real problem drivers, the ones who don't look.
What's worse, many daytime running lights are so uncomfortable to look at that people actually look away.
So the very thing that is supposed to make the vehicle seen actually stops it being seen.

Seat only stays open if the handlebars are straight.

The lights have a thing called a switch and can be turned off at anytime. Quite amazing ;)

The handlebars definetly don't need to be straight for the seat to stay up.

And no, the visor probably not compatible with the. Earlier design.
