Possible CB1100X coming ...

Keep in mind the posted images so far in this thread of envisioned best-guess prototypes by non-Honda artists.

I don't have a gripe with that, even if it's a little bit off, it's the concept that matters.

And if I may ask, why is everyone so keen on this bine coming with a shaft drive??

For those who care to bother, I reckon shaft final drive is incredibly convenient to maintain - well, there is nothing to maintain. Unsophisticated earlier Japanese versions seem to be lighter implementations of current European versions (think BMW, Moto Guzzi). If ultimate every-drop-of-horse power is unimportant, touring with a shaft is just glorious bliss.

I totally understand the convenience of a shaft, what I meant was why THIS motorcycle, it's not just here, also people on the website and social media keep talking about shaft drive for the NT1100. Africa Twin is not shaft driven, neither is the Rebel 1100, why would the sports bike of the bunch be any different?
I just thought you all knew something I didn't. TBH I'm kinda hoping Honda will throw in the supercharged 1100 they submitted for patent back in October, and not just the regular on from the CRF.
Anyways, I like this one, I'm excited, I'll probably end up buying it used/crashed in a couple of years
