Very nice bike, slick marketing.:)

Nice looking bike, and yes thumbs up for the video.

I'd still go for the OSSA Explorer, because it looks a little bit better in my opinion.

It's a new Honda TLR! :D

Can't help thinking many buyers will end up disappointed with these playbikes in the long run. The Freeride doesn't appear to have lived up to the great expectations and the Sherco wotsit that came before didn't seem all that popular. Xtrainer maybe, but even at 5'8" and not being much of a racer, I'd still go for the enduro model.

Looks like it is a 4rt with lights and a seat kit. Fuel capacity is only 1.2 gallons - even though claimed range is 65 miles, etc. (guessing these are highway miles...)

Need 1.6 gallon fuel capacity minimum - prefer 1.8-2.0

And suspension needs to be upgraded from trials bike standards for trail use. Needs to be able to hammer along a connecting trail if you are riding between tight trails that we all love....

Seat needs to project back to the rear a little more....

A big step up from the old TLR hondas that I owned - these were dumbed down trials bike with way too slow steering and cheap suspension and rims (steel!).

looks like a nice bike - "torque wins!"... ;-)

Hopefully the actual weight is low, geometry of bike is "flickable" and they get epa approval for U.S.
