Sure the new Goldwing (euro  4 ;) ) ; and a new Africa Twin Adventure ; have to wait end of September to have an idea what would be the @T A ... (Larger tank, accessories .... )

Not Honda, but personally I think the announced Tenere 700 from Yamaha is going to be an interesting concept in the adventure bike world!I am assuming that Honda would think of getting a smaller version of the Africa Twin (new Transalp?) on offer to compete; they have a perfect engine: the twin from the NC750(X).

I think the NC750X engine is a bit heavy for an adventure bike.

I've heard rumours about the Goldwing being a technological marvel.

Yamaha will have their new 700 there for sure.

The KTM 1050R is selling very well in NZ, must admit it is a nice bike.

In my modest opinion... the new Goldwing shifts in aspects of dynamics more towards the 'old' ST1300 Pan European which I think, is a good thing.
Don't think however that the pricetag shifts towards that same direction...  ;D

This is an interesting development, one I am not sure about. Really interested to ride the bike to see how it performs. Good weight saving but yeah, that price tag, when announced, will surely make our eyes water  :o
