Looking at the spec sheet, 145 horsepower and 149 Nm from that boxer engine already stands out, but it's the combination of ASA automatic clutch and ACC adaptive cruise on the Touring trim that really gets my pulse up. Backing up long-distance riding with electronics this thoroughly compared with older models is exactly the kind of evolution I love.

Even adaptive cruise now — tourers have really come a long way.

Aren't there more options in this price range though?

First time hearing about this ASA feature, sounds handy, I'll look it up.

¥2.2 million, huh — not bad for an imported bike, all things considered.

That boxer engine stance is just cool, honestly.

145 hp and 149 Nm on paper alone is plenty usable.
