Uh, that "video" is so disappointing. Had my eyes rolling back before the first five seconds. Then just some electro-track with a moving still.

Okay, lets assume there is some meat behind it. Based on the fuzzy image:
* It almost looks like it will use a DCT based on the engine cover.
* The engine image almost appears compressed such that there are two or three exhaust ports per cylinder making it a twin or triple.
* Would they actually consider an inline-6 in a 21st century sport bike?
* The original CBX was arguably a Honda sales failure. They sold few, and in the end they were giving them away to charity automotive schools. Given that today's Honda CB1100 numbers are, meh, probably not hard to imagine how an inline-6 might do.
Just my 2 cents.
