Good find, Wheelbender6.
Acknowledging that it's just a concept my impressions follow.

Pros:
I like the long flat seat.
Dash indicator lights look bright.
Honda dealer network support. The fork covers look effective, not like something from a Japanese comic.

Cons:
Passenger peg location looks to be suited for a child, not adult.
Plastic bash plate. Uh,,,,, sure.
Plastic bodywork over everything. (Think our RX3's take denuding to adjust the valves?)
34.7" seat height. I can cope, but many can't.
Honda dealer network support, to whom you MUST also take the bike to for mandated maintenance to maintain your warranty.
Price. Starting at $4,999*

+ Destination Charge: $320.00. Probably dealer prep as well.
No guards.
No luggage.
Quite likely only one color.

Mixed:
Alloy rims.
Fat Bars.
No interesting blog for entertainment.

Here's an update from earlier this week saying it's been shifted from concept to prototype: http://www.advpulse.com/adv-bikes/ho...lly-prototype/

It will be interesting to see how it stacks up against the RX3.
