Re: new honda details
That's good for the integra, don't get why the alloy swinging arm doesn't get fitted to the X and S variants as well, and I hope they fit a beefier chain set too because the current one is like a moped chain.

Re: new honda details
We shall have to see how much 'bigger' the storage compartment is. The present one won't even take a open face helmet, so I wouldn't be surprised if Honda announce that it will take a Jet helmet as a major advance! And 3 extra bhp is hardly going to tear your arms off. The N700X still looks like a better bet, especially with its whole 7bhp extra.

Will be interesting to see how (if?) the new balancer arrangement works.

Re: new honda details
Could even be that Honda have responded to comments! They've made some efforts on the issues of Poor storage & vibes (how effectively we shall see). Now if they sort out the chain drive, they might sell a few!

According to Visordown Honda are bringing the CTX700 to Europe.
Maybe that's so the vibro lovers can still get their fix.

Re: new honda details
As the article says...it's probably the extra torque that Honda were after. It's up quite a bit over the 700 and I bet it's lower in the rev range so the bike can maintain significant fuel economy, yet give riders plenty of extra acceleration. Bhp is not really important in this sector but torque it. Bet it rides even nicer than the 700, albeit that the 700 is already very good.
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'!
