Having ridden my 2009 SH300 to test ride an ADV 350 yesterday, I'd ask for an SH 400, with Forza storage + removable box and panniers that are tight into the bike, not dangling inches off to the side, as frequently seen. Wide, adjustable screen, deflecters to keep my knees out of the wind. Oh, and integrated security, like the cable that Peugot (I think) that pulled out of the back, long enough to go round a lampost/tree/stand. Self-cleaning with three year service intervals. A price point of three grand would seem reasonable
I would like that too. Honda have already upped the SH and Forza from 300 to 350, so they may up it again to 400. It was a Peugeot (the Elyseo/Elystar) that had a cable that pulled out of the back. I used to have an Elyseo (a 125) and I found the pull-out cable very useful. More manufacturers should fit them. At least it frees up a bit of space under the seat that would otherwise be taken up by a cable or padlock and chain.
