Darn you Honda

[misterprofessionality]

What I think it all boils down to is....Honda NA has no faith in the "sport touring" platform as a category that stands on its own. they have reasoned that they can sell ADV bikes to literally anybody that is looking for a sport touring bike and not have to split their inventory between different models. Frankly, if you look at all the motorcycle brands lately you could reason that none of them really have faith in "sport touring" as a category. Even those that offer bikes will barely ever give them showroom space. Yamaha and BMW might be the only exceptions, and BMW is starting to distance themselves from the category too.
