It looks able to cope with our shitty third world potholed roads. I like it.

I don't know why Honda UK vets all Honda products for the UK. They must conclude we only want the conservative bikes and scooters. If we vote leave, just maybe Euro 4 and Euro 5 will get dropped.

Looks like a great little go anywhere, do anything bike which I would buy at the drop of a hat if it was available here.
Can't see it selling here in any numbers though, as it wouldn't carry the prestige or the "street cred" which many UK buyers demand.
Make a great commuter for our "Urban Jungles" though.. :lol:

I wanted an import tw225 and make it into a bobber, but seen van vans similar but gutless even the new 200 version is slow.

Sorry don't like it, maybe without top handlebar light and fatter tyres.

Now here in the West where the 'adventure bike' is all the rage and in reality the bikes are expensive, overweight and rarely taken off road (and a rally or camp site doesn't count), and it's all about dressing up and looking the part, I can see the appeal if you want to look the part on a budget and may even venture into a bit of mud and muck.
Yes..talking of which I was getting an MOT for the Bev yesterday and in the workshop was a 2013 KTM 990 Adventure (whatever the precise model was). I have NEVER seen a bike so CLEAN! Despite being 3 years old, it looked as if it had never left the showroom let alone ventured into the mud and grime!!! I get the impression that the owner had fully kitted it up for Adventure touring, but never actually went on one - then took it out of the garage one day and promptly dropped it! It had a couple of bits of lost paint on the crash bars and side case bars which were regarded as a disaster.....

One of our mates who bought a new Multistrada last year, dropped it twice on practically his first outing and then had so many things wrong with it (including Ducati building the bike around an obviously damaged frame) that they gave him a new one. That was last year and we are going to Italy in just over three weeks time and he has clocked up just enough miles to get his first service in. He has recently shelled out just over £1500 on a set of 'Pikes Peak' panels for it plus fuck knows how much for a matching red, white and black Ducati branded Arai helmet. Don't think he can ride it any better but boy, does he look the prat. Sorry, part. :lol:
