Had they come to takeover in a non descript rig. They would have blended right in with us. We never would have known.

I've been there, in the end I might have've made a point. I love my Honda but ready for greener pastures. Honda just seems to sit back and wait for sales to drop before doing anything, they have the most advanced engineering group, time to turn them lose on the S x S's!

Understandable. They've only been doing that since...i dunno...1991 or so....

I was thinking the same thing, but would not be suprised if their was someone doing just that.

There were definitely a few Honda folks there. Think they were all in Talons though

So judging by the number of Pioneer 1000 Trail & Forest Editions lingering around. Common sense says, this is what's being shown to the Press with opportunities to ride in real trail conditions. Since they were only announced a few months ago, that's the 2 new models being shown.

I expect anything not yet announced won't break cover until the Honda dealership Red Line in July. Not to say it's out of the question something new isn't sitting under covers, but probability of seeing such without invite, or NDA is unlikely.

Nothing new to see here, move along 🤷‍♂️

It's not that serious. I doubt anything new of interest will be out until next generation. Guessing 5 more years and we will get bold new designs to match today's competition.

I thought Honda used to be leading edge in MX technology. Now that MX is dying back a little, they could jump on the popularity of SxSs and make a killing ... or not

Well, as capable as they are. No good deed goes unpunished. Like the awesome 1986 ATC 250R, the Consumer Product Safety Commission shut down the 3 wheeler industry. Many millions of litigation payouts later a Company learned to be much more conservative as people are just too phucking stupid to be trusted with high performance products especially if they are affordable. The separator is $$$ like the Honda Fireblade at $184k. But not enough will sell to be profitable. But enough to win race headlines, that sells the mainstream motorcycle line up. The bread and butter is little mopeds churned out by 5 million units a year in India.

There killing it outdoors this year, top 2 spots in 250 and top 2 spots in 450 in points as of this weekend.

Alot of people are saying Honda and Yamaha are running KTM down in the ground finally.

That $184k model was the RC213V-S, a Moto GP bike for the road.

The current "Fireblade" 1000RR-R is "only" $28k.

Well explained for those that didn't know about the debacle, thus all the warning badges on any new Honda S x S's. Honda got bit bad!

You can say that again!
