"Vultus" Latin?

"The New 2014 Honda NM4... Exciting, warm, silky and smooth... Honda bring you the new... Vulva Uterus Vultus! " 8-)

I like it too, and i loved my DN-01 would have another one, shame as this one is being criticised already and its not even out, I've not heard from anyone that had a DN-01 who hated it,it was criticised mostly by people who have never seen or driven one, i would love to try one of these

Looks like a lower riding position ,and if it is it might be my sort of ride although the handlebars are well back. maybe seat should even be back further by putting a smaller back wheel but only slightly smaller say a 13 inch .
May be a replacement for the cn250 would sell millions if they get it right
love the backrest
Bring it on

I absolutely love it !!!!! I love my DN-01, but I fear this will divide opinion like the DN-01 did. Another marmite bike, but I for one think it looks fabulous.

Hard to imagine how Honda could do a worse version of the Integra, but give them their due, they have pulled it off.
This looks to me like the Integra model of the CTX range.
Feet forward olde worlde Harley riding style with modern angular stealth bomber styling, is that anti-radar paint I see.....?
Still no belt or shaft drive though and where do you put your luggage and pillion?

I love everything about it, however chain drive !!! Yuk !! Seems i'll be keeping my DN-01 for a while then, or at least till I can afford a second hand VFR-1200 or Crosstourer...

Apparently the backrest is the pillion seat.
Won't be a comfortable one though.

Looking at the wider range of piccies, luggage goes right where it should - panniers mounted alongside the headstock, between the wheels, close to the CG, but no sign of the storage capacity - might be no bigger than a glovebox, which would be a shame. The driver backrest doubles as the pillion seat, and it moves fore/aft as well as reclining all the way back to form the pax seat.

The designers may even have thought about integrating luggage storage at the back.

I'm also thinking: In white, add a stripe, wear the fluoro and white lid - and beat all the traffic, all the time, knoworrimean... be like parting the Red Sea.

Frankly, as long as it isn't silly money, I'll buy one - proven transmission apart from the chain drive, economical motor and about the right size, providing it doesn't weigh the same as a coach (245 kg `declared weight` - wet I hope)
Plus it's different, and it's got a lot to like, and works as a maxi - whereas the Dunno was a little to like, but a `fail` as transportation.

Looks better but can't see a full-face lid fitting inside though.
