Seen them they are nice
Ok questions
Why has the Manual one got 2 dipsticks (and I don't mean Me and DavyF who have put deposits on them) on the engine
Whats the G button for on the dash
Whats all the block gauges all about I can see the temp and fuel ones but theres one by the gear position indicator ans one under it !??

Den Agreed 100% and just love your sign off LOL

The G button according to Honda.

Pushing the G switch in any riding mode improves traction and machine control – all-important for off-road riding – by reducing the amount of clutch slip during gear changes.

Further new functionality for the DCT system comes in the form of incline detection, by means of which the gear shift pattern is adapted depending on the grade of any incline to provide optimum control.

One of the block gauges will probably be the traction control . My Crosstourer has a 3 level TC , horizontal block gauge on the left side of the dash . Can be changed / turned off on the move .

It does look great, but subframe is welded on, not so good for off road. One good fall and the frame is toast

Why don't they just build another 640 adv and be done with it

Ive not heard from my dealer since I put my deposit down, tickets havnt arrived for the 28th yet either let alone got a Free fucking lid or jacket Ill phone them and see what's the go !!

 

[Davy F]

The VIP tickets will be posted very shortly, they should be coming direct from Honda UK. The two tickets I've already been given are normal show entries, the special one coming lets you into the show @ 08:00 on the 28th for the actual launch presentation. The freebie jacket is from my dealer, nothing to do with Honda UK.
