To me, it seems that they are straying further from their own roots while incorporating elements from other manufacturers. The two-tone engines are right out of the BSA/Norton/Triumph playbook. While the jelly bean tanks are more akin to vintage Ducati bikes. The only Honda that I'm reminded of by this particular model is the old 500T with it's brown seat (personally that would be one of the last picks from Honda''s archives that I would want to replicate.)

Sure enough, I looked back at Honda's from that period. While I didn't come up with a ton of examples there were a few. It seems that I found those particular bikes rather forgettable.
