I'm pretty sure this hasn't been posted before. Blush

This one has my interest piqued, even though I already have a Super Tenere.

Lol nope this is new. ROFL

Looks a little more serious than the Super 10

Cant wait to see one in the flesh, course it will be too tall for my stubby legs

For sure, from what I've been reading, much more off-road oriented than the SuperTen and probably around 150 lbs lighter. I think this one is going to make KTM very nervous.

Have you considered leg grafts? Doctors can do some pretty amazing things these days for the vertically challenged. Big Grin

Uh only when I want to walk without stepping on them. Luckily my suspenders hold them up when I am riding.

Since this teaser is on the Honda Canada site it would surprise me if it doesn't come to the states at about the same time. I hope they're also working on a replacement for the ancient XR650L... a CRF650L modern thumper would fit nicely between the 250L and 1000L.

I'll need boots with 3" soles.

Met a lady at Daytona Bike Week who worked for Kawasaki. She was all of about 5' 2" and her regular ride was a KL650. Her boots had soles 4" high. Where there's a will there's a way.

1 Cor 13:4-7 (NIV)
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
