Nothing against fuel injection.....It's very reliable these days. Solid state electronics. And Honda don't use crappy cheap pumps and controllers like our Bavarian friends.

But I don't want a bike run by electronic control units which dependent on hundreds of sensors and electricirypokery which can go wrong everywhere and anywhere and can't be diagnosed without a £20,000 computer. I can't see this bike not having a full fly by wire system, ABS, electronic suspension etc. All the stuff that just goes wrong all the time...

And just looking at the arty pictures and knowing it has a 1000cc engine, I can't see this thing weighing less than 250kg...

For me, that's when you know it's aimed at the GS market. And for me, that ain't no adventure bike.... But I don't blame Honda because they're a business and that's where the money is.

For me, If it can't be fixed without a computer and a specialist workshop, then I wan't nothing to do with it...

I'm a dealer trained BMW Technician. I've pretty much stripped, rebuilt, repaired and serviced every part of BMW's bikes made in the last 15 years.

And I say with no shame that If I was to break down on one, after a few simple checks, the first thing I'd do is call a recovery truck because there is almost bugger all you can fix yourself on a modern high tech 'Adventure bike'

As always though, that's just my opinion which is worth it's weight in fresh air
