A 1648cc inline-six, just reading the spec sheet gets my pulse up. Imagining how 180Nm of torque gets managed through a 358kg chassis is the good part right there. Even compared to older models, a six-cylinder layout by itself is already the height of indulgence.

Makes me want to read a comparison piece against the Honda Gold Wing too.

358kg looks heavy on paper, but might be reasonable for a six-cylinder.

Depending on how low the center of gravity is, it might handle easier than expected.

A 10.25-inch nav screen sounds like it'd make long tours a lot easier.

Just imagining the six-cylinder sound gives me chills.

4,026,000 yen is nearly double a domestic big bike, a dream machine for regular folks.

But that's kind of the norm for this class anyway.
