    Wow, I really hope you're wrong!

    That bike appears to tackle my chief complaint with the GSA, width...

    EDIT- After looking at all the pics, it still looks nice, but not as finished as the BMW. They'd have to charge less.

    When I say finish, I mean as in the little things.

    The BMW has a centerstand, I don't see one here, don't see a skidplate (though there could be one), the front brake lines are rubber and the routing is ugly, the BMW has nicer hardware, adjustable screen, headlight, ESA (which I loved on the GSA) etc

    The Honda looks like a slightly cheaper copy that's not quite as nice, with an engine I'd really like to have so I could split lanes without breaking out in a sweat.
