If Honda had priced it under 10K, they would’ve shown they meant business. At 15K, it feels more like they’re testing the market.

Even with the Honda name on it, it’s likely the resale value will be brutal.

$15,000+, 85mph, 85 mile-range, 480 pound

Guaranteed this time next year, there will be massive discounts to be had on new and used versions of this bike. The battery technology still has a long way to go …. Great video though Scott, as ever.

I'm glad Honda is innovating in both electrified and normal bikes.

I like your review - simple, relevant, thorough, no drama acting. Keep up the good work.

I sat on one at my Honda dealer yesterday and was really surprised how tiny they are - I’m a tall rider, and while I’m not averse to electric, they need to make them a bit bigger!

What a fun commuter and with Honda standing behind it you can trust it will last.

Nice except for the grey box.

Nice bike for what it is. Serves a particular purpose. Expensive, sure as heck is.

Love my 21 Zero DSR . AMAZING for getting around town. Thanks , great review I assume the Honda is belt drive like mine.

I own a Royal Enfield Classic 350. 90% of my enjoyment is the feel and the sound. If I only ever lived in a city, maybe these bikes would solve a problem, but, they don't.

Scott, you deliver some of the best m/c evals on the tube. This bike, and I imagine a lot of us, will not feel it. If you are a city dweller, well fair enough but where are the panniers. City folks will require storage and a lot of it. Honda should of had it ready with storage. Cant see it doing, at all, well in the US out side the big cities because we just have so much land area.

Great review ,maybe with sold state battery in a year or two I would buy ones Greetings from the NJ shore USA.

I absolutely loved the test ride I had, I'm very tempted!

I have a NIU NQI GTS scooter, which I use to commute the 26 miles round trip to work. There's nothing better in my opinion. At 1p per mile, it's the cheapest way to get to work.
