They say they heard the rumours about a big sport touring bike and then connected the dots between the new frames Honda patented and let their imagination go wild.
CB4X was however an actual concept bike on EICMA 2019

As I look at it closer, I can see the fairing/seat/exhaust/bags are renderings, but the engine and wheel details are too detailed and defined, which makes me wonder if the wheels/front end were dropped in from another bike. Oddly, the CB4X looks more like a rendering to me.

I don't see another inline four coming soon from Honda in anything but Super Sport category. Power is just too peaky for most peoples everyday use, and definitely if passengers/luggage/touring is in the picture. The 270 degree counterbalanced twin will probably see a lot more applications, as it's far cheaper than a dohc 16 valve four. It clicks most all buttons, but boy, is it ugly.

Even if the CB1100X had a lower seat height, there's still the height of the rear seat and tail most of us have to contend with.Very much agree with the high rear seat and tail on so many bikes, much harder for us older guys to swing a leg over, and for what? Give me a flat seat or rear section to bungy stuff on. Can't remember the last time I carried a passenger.
Maybe the low, flat seats on CB1100 and Triumph Bonnevilles are part of their appeal. They certainly are welcome to me.

That's an easy 600+ pounds. I wouldn't look forward to valve adjustments either. Maybe that's why they're leftover 2016-2017 models discounted $6000-$7000.
I have a friend who loves his, and he loves it for the power.

You'd probably have to mount it using the left riding peg, that is, step on, up and elegantly swing your log over. Easy peasy, ... Bob's yer uncle. Kinda like mounting an ADV bike.

It's not just older guys who don't like swinging their leg over a tall seat or tall tail section. Why should anyone have to do that just to appease designers?
Same with climbing on a footpeg to climb over.
That said, and more importantly: I wanna touch the ground with my feet.
