The same pic has turned up in the UKs weekly paper, MCN. It is described as having the same Deauville engine i.e. the 3 valve 65 HP with FI, displacing 680cc.
IMO, the pic looks even worse in large print - same drab colours and the old-fashioned plastics with round headlight seem very prominent.
The square swinging arm is totally unattractive; I am not saying that these things are the top priority, but it has to compete with new products from Yam etc, never mind existing bikes such as the DL650 and whatever else is announced in the next few months.
