Cool mini-trail Supercruz. They're just so damned cute! Hopefully this new Grom will inspire some youngsters like those Z50s did back in the day.

I wonder if one of those Grom engines will fit into my C70 Passport frame? Hmm....

All you need is a torch and a MIG! (welder, not a plane.

I think Honda has hit a huge homerun with this year's lineup here in the states. It's getting back to where they had something for everyone, with a natural progression (if one wanted to) up to the bigger, more expensive stuff.
Must say the surprise for me is the F6B. Took one for a ride at an open house ( just for yuks, ya'know? ) and found myself thinking " hey, I could live with this..." Really nice bike.

I think Honda finally hired someone in their marketing department who didn't see much future in their status quo strategy.
I agree, they definitely upped their game this year.

I really like the F6B as well. Too bad they don't have an ABS option.

Now, if only they'd make a sport-touring bike with cruise control, decent luggage capacity, designed in this century, that didn't cost an arm & a leg.

I love my CB1100 for day or weekend trips, but if I can ever arrange for a week or more of consecutive days off from work so I could go on a proper long distance cruise, I think that F6B would find its way into my garage.
At the NYC motorcycle show the F6B and the CB1100 drew the biggest crowds at the Honda display.

The Grom. I saw that bike on Honda's web site some time ago. I have no use for it and I need that bike about as much as I need a dose of the clap. So....why do I want one so much??? Good grief. When I was 14 years old I had a Honda Trail 70 with a license plate. I rode it all over central Arizona with no drivers license and never got caught. Such great times. Perhaps the Grom reminds me of that.

I really want one as well! Would be great around campus but really don't need it at all seeing as I have the cb11. But just the thought of being in full gear buzzing around town brings a smile to my face.
