yes

seat height / saddle shape is my greatest interest and hope max 240kg ......... and the engine with the character of the rebel

I would have liked it to have come with a shaft, but I know it was probably unfeasible for them since they reused the AT motor.

Not much to see of the bike itself in that video.

For a moment, I thought Honda was breaking into the Violin market.

It's a teaser for a new release

if you freeze it at :20 you get a pretty interesting view of the fairing/shield/cockpit/acc tank bag

Seems there a shift in the "sport touring" market. Not sure how great a parallel twin chain driven bike would be as a tourer, but I think that's what the market is dictating. The Tracer GT seems to be doing well and that seems to be similar in nature.

The Concourse hasn't changed in.... A LONG time and the FJR had a remake in 2016.

I LOVE my 2016 FJR... cruise control, 6.6 gal tank and shaft driven... will eat up miles with nary a yawn.

So some possible truth behind Forum thread:

Cool.

Christmas wish is shaft final drive.

[the Ferret]

Unfortunately it is not going to be shaft driven, that I can almost guarantee.

And if it's like the NC 750X the bags, centerstand and rear rack trunk, are going to be stupidly expensive, and will come as accessories and not included with the base bike.

The New Era in Touring is code for it you want to tour you'll be paying thru the nose.

in addition according to all things normal in motorcycling it will need a Lamm, Corbin or some other $600 seat and a Madstat, V Stream or something windshield for another 2 bills.
