I do think Honda have lost the plot the last few years. I can think of Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Ktm amongst others who have some cracking 800/900 naked bikes.

Having seen the full sketch I suspect Honda are some way off from deciding on a final concept.... the top one gets my vote!

But then the Hornet was one of the first "low front end" looking bikes wasn't it? (or did I just have a fever dream?)
