The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • Honda most accessible full-size adventure tourer in India
  • Middleweight adventure format that is easier to manage than the Transalp

Worth knowing

  • Sold as a CBU import, so pricing is high relative to the segment
  • Now includes Honda E-Clutch as standard, so a fully manual-clutch variant is no longer offered
