    Here is what I would like to see the Honda CA250 253FMM engine in, not exactly that style but elements of the design I find really appealing.



    Things I would leave off are the flared fenders, they could be smaller narrower but still black.
    The big lolly pop directionals could be made smaller and nice round set of gauges would be good as well.


    Point is that it is something that could be brought to the market fairly easily, why is it that they feel that little 234cc twin only should be offered in either a cruiser or a fully faired sport bike?


    Is it because they are copying what is popular what is already selling in the market. They might want to consider offering what is missing and not what is already being offered.

    The CD200 Honda Roadmaster, was offered in the 80’s and only in limited markets, ie Turkey and Pakistan. It had a 200cc twin, the 234cc could be put into that frame and modified cosmetically to make it more modern, it is a retro reproduction it brings back elements of the other previous Hondas, the CD bikes or Honda Dreams.
