I really wish Honda built an updated version of this to compete with SV. I loved the single-sided swingarm on a naked bike. If they did it right, they could steal sales from the SVs and some of the Ducati Monsters.

with the market in the condition it's in right now I wouldn't hold my breath on Honda building any new "standards" intended to compete with any other existing bike. They MIGHT make something to go after a "new" niche but until the economy turns around it's going to be a long, long time...

Unfortunately, when Honda invents a niche, they make bikes like the DN-01.

New niche? Didn't they just introduce their first "chopper?"

Given the development lead times, maybe their designers and engineers could start now so they'd be positioned to sell it when the economy recovers. If they wait to start till things are already recovered, it would be just my luck that the economy would tank again just as the bike was released.mpolans wrote:
