A looker? Or fugly? Love or Hate? On the Fence?

My immediate reaction? I feel the same way when I first saw the DN 01. On the Fence.

2015 NM4 670cc

http://powersports.honda.com/documentum ... _Specs.pdf

Automatic Six-speed with 2 auto modes and a manual mode. Final Drive: Chain

For shorty legs, this one sports a 25.6 seat height

As is, in my opinion, it looks awful. Take the back rest off such as this, and it isn't quite so bad, although I am still not real keen on it.

A BIG Ruc Flip BackRest?

A CTX in fancy dress party mode.
Overpriced steaming pile of shite.
US gets the old 670 engine, rest of the world will be getting the improved 750.

The old PC800 Looked better I think.

ooh pink gauges... and white

Hey GN2, just out of curiousity have you ridden a CTX or a Gold Wing?

[gn2]

Ridden a Goldwing about thirty years ago.
CTX not available in the UK.

I think the NM4 is going to be an absolutely fantastic bike. I prefer scooters over traditional motorcycles but, working in the motorcycle industry allows me the chance to ride pretty much every Japanese motorcycle or scooter released in the US, I have to admit Honda is on top of making incredible handling low center of gravity bikes that I never imagined I'd like. The sub 26" seat height is going to make you feel like you're part of the bike, not on it. DCT transmissions are the future, and the Honda version works absolutely flawlessly while being a pleasure to ride. The NM4 is going to deliver great fuel economy, be absolutely bullet proof, and I love the looks of it. Can't wait to take it for a ride.

Do you get good commission on your sales?
The nm-4/vultus isn't a new bike, its a cynical marketing exercise.
The good news for the bike industry is that fools and their money are easily parted.

It's entertaining putting my customers on test rides on both the CTX and Gold Wing. "Amazing" is generally their response. The CTX riding position, DCT transmission, and low center of gravity make it a treat to ride. The modern Gold Wing needs to be ridden to be appreciated, words do not describe what an incredible handling bike it is for being a mammoth beast. At parking lot speeds it feels like sub 400lb bike, and can be absolutely thrown around corners at any speed you dare. It's easy to read stats on a bike and come to the conclusion you don't like it, but you never know till you get your butt on the seat and take it for a ride what it's all about.

Yes I do work on commission and just to let you know, the ACV of any Honda product in relation to its MSRP is by far the smallest of every manufacturer, and my dealership carries, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Polaris, and Can-Am. I know what you're getting at, you think I'm trying to sell/promote Honda's. I'm stating hands on real life experience on every bike I've ever posted about. Funny how you completely tear down bikes that you never have or will ride. Brilliant!

[scisor34]

You You, the fact that I'm from the US and didn't use the word "awesome" during my rants must be kind of impressive...?

Most motorcyclsts will never ride most bikes.
It is not necessary to ride something to know if it is practical road transport or a pile of shite.
Chain final drive is the worst possible option.
I will never buy a chain drive bike.
I don't need to ride it to see that it has a chain.

"It is not necessary to ride something to know if it is practical road transport or a pile of shite."

Enough said.........

I'm of the mindset of don't knock it till you try it.

[gn2]

What's the problem?
I'm just stating the obvious.

Thank you for your honest efforts.
Lots of people rip on these bikes without even seeing one in person, yet alone actually riding one.
Your opinions are most welcome.

As far as this beast, it's obviously going after a very select market segment. I like almost everything about this bike but the wide front end styling,
but again, I haven't seen it in person.

If and when your store has one in its possession, please update us.

It was pretty awes...... now I'm doing it..

[you you]

I think it looks different and pretty cool

I also like the wired version of the goldwing. Don't know what it's called.
