Looks like something from Hollywood. I prefer the traditional looking cruiser.

uh. I'm not a very big Honda fan. I just have never found the to be a comfy bike for me. I've rode 1500 and 1800 wings, 1100 aero, 750 aero and 1100 ace tour. couldn't get comfy on any of them. But something about this bike is attractive to me. Never seen it before but looks like a very fun short distance runabout.

notice I didn't say comfy like a cruiser just that it looks fun. and it's a good lookin bike too. and I'm not even of fan of the crotch rocket style. But I wouldn't turn down a test ride for sure. looks fun.

Kinda looks like a cross between a crotch rocket and a lounge chair. I don't really care for it, but that's just me.

Well your being more diplomatic than me, I thought a sports bike, a scooter and a wheel chair had a collision and that was the result. Doesn't do anything for me.

Looks are subjective and obviously, what I think looks good isn't very mainstream but....that's fugly. NOT a crotch rocket. If you look at the pics, you can see what looks like floorboards up front.

So, it looks like the passenger seat flips up for a solo backrest, I have to admit, that's an interesting idea that I am surprised nobody has done yet?

From what I read, it is a combination motorcycle/scooter.
I am not sure what market they are going for with this. It will be interesting to see if they sell any. Personally I do not think it looks all that bad; as some apparently do.

You never know...look at how many Visions are sold. Gotta love having choices.
