It doesn't look like it's been kicked in the face. We're off to a good start Honda.

I think it looks like the current generation with pointy-er headlights and air intakes.

This. Likely no substantial mechanical changes. Probably the same frame.

That paint scheme looks like they ripped off my fiddy design which rips off BMW enduro bike racing schemes.

Am I the only one that is slightly skeptical about thisvideo? This isnt a honda product and the bike looks 95% like the previous version and its from hong kong, king of the bike body kits.

The only thing that stands out as being really different is teh dash which could be a one off piece from someone who knows electronics.

If it is real then cool beans

It looks like it has some minor differences in the stills posted on the website. A fake still would not surprise me though.
