Fortfarande sensationell. Den har de välkända Honda-egenskaperna, men blir aldrig inaktuell. En motorcykel som följer med i vått och torrt och som inte tröttnar ens på extra långa turer. Mycket robust i terrängen, klarar även riktigt tuffa passager utan problem. Fortfarande riktmärket för touring enduros 2017.
