Tortuous seat, terrible wind management, and having the fuel filler under the pillion prevents you from securing gear on the rear seat without a fuss. I think it’s much more adept as a commuter or weekend play bike.
I reckon Honda really means "urban adventurer" with highway usability.
The seat is firm, but not impossible. Even my poor butt enjoyed it more than the stock '14 CB1100 standard.
The 2018 windshield could have been better, but it was still functional.
I actually like the hidden gas cap. In return, I got the "Frunk". Just my personal experience. I rarely tie junk down on the pillion seat.
