This versatile midsize naked motorcycle from Honda has proven to be a capable and fun option for riders seeking a friendly machine that won’t cost an arm and a leg. For 2024 it received a bunch of updates including: aggressive new styling, updated ECU, standard Honda Selectable Torque Control, brand-new LED headlight, and a new 5-inch TFT display.
Power comes from a fuel-injected 471cc eight-valve liquid-cooled parallel twin-cylinder engine with double overhead cams. The engine puts an emphasis on low- to midrange power output. The new traction-control system allows the rider to disable the function if wanted.
Chassis highlights include a Showa 41mm inverted Separate Function Fork Big Piston (SFF-BP) fork with 4.7 inches of travel, while a preload-adjustable monoshock is used at the rear. Braking is handled by a pair of radial-mount, four-piston Nissin calipers in the front with 296mm discs. ABS is standard.
The new full-color 5-inch TFT display has been designed to eliminate glare and improve visibility in all lighting conditions. Users can customize the display to their preference.
The 2024 Honda is only available in Matte Black Metallic for $6,899.
