Here's the news article about the new bike: http://www.motorcycledaily.com/2017/05/new-yamaha-touring-model-to-be-unveiled-june-5-with-video/ In the pic it looks kind of Goldwingish with the four headlights.

Kinda looks like the now defunct Victory.......:Shrug:

Yeah, it looks like a cross between the Victory and a Kawasaki Voyager.. Look at the size of those foot boards.

You can't go by these pic's, they used a lot of faux plastic to cover up the real bike. Same thing they do when road testing new sports and muscle cars. notice everything is mat-black and the dash is covered up with the exception of the speedo.

That's going to make an awesome trike :clapping:. Its just a matter of time before the first conversion gets designed and built.

Maybe this new bike will light a fire under Honda for a new Wing.
