For this piece of shite? Hell naw. Honda, this better have a manual and a bigger engine than a 670cc parallel twin.

I rather have their smaller sibling , The PCX.

The thing is, I found out the NM4 has the DCT from the Honda NC700D Integra and I'm more happy to fix that over something that relies on a belt. I'm not sure how they made their CVT systems, but after enduring and trying to fix the CVT in an Aprilia Mana...

DCT?

Interesting, i was thinking that thing is a CVT.

I think the honda's CVT is a belt-driven one, just like any other CVT bike i've ever seen, something that looks like this:

..... That looks so horrendously simple. :c

I-I'll go for the DCT or the Mana.

It looks good, though.

Is it $11,000 good?

Yeah, so was the price.

It cost 30 bucks to replace the whole system here in Indonesia. And the PCX itself was 2500USD if i remember.

I own a yamaha mio scooter with CVT and it has even more simple system.

Yeah, that's exactly the problem.

Guess how much it costs to repair the CVT in this.

It's like a Ducati Monster but without the Ducati-ness and a CVT instead of the usual up-a-click manual w/ dry clutch.

I mean, if it had a bigger V or Flat-twin engine, then it's $11,000 slightly NP.

A recumbent motorcycle?

Swap in the CBR1000RR engine and we can talk numbers.

My thoughts exactly.

Y U NO CBR INTO NM4, HONDA

Exactly, it looks comfy as fuck, if they made it quicker than an Aventador it would be quite the daily driver proposition.

Well, i think that would cost more than 30 bucks.

But won't go as high as my merc's transmission (5-6 grand)

For $11,000, I'd much rather have an Yzf-R6

That's an insane amount of dinheiro, but it's a good-looking bike.

$11k???? BMWs excuse for their similar CVT megaoverpriced scoot was 'herp derp lux roundel's worth $5k more lol' but honda wants $1k MORE???

ATTN bike Industry: Doin' lines of crack off hooker's asses might be fun, but make sure you've come down off the high when you're at work setting the prices of things, because goddamn...

They really should have followed BMW's lead there, because you just can't argue with that logic.

May as well get the real deal, then. Though you'll need to bring considerably more than $11k.

This costs the same as that Honda.

Yes, but where am I going to get a laser cannon?

So it's not just Honda and Beemer. Everyone's basically doing lines of crack off hooker's asses all the time. Industry wide. Mother of god...

Here's the thing - it's a legit bike compared to that puke-master Honda.

Ok that's pretty fucking awesome!

10Gs is too much for just a scoot for me, man. Not when the same money can get you a sport bike or a cruiser, all of which will come with genuine manuals. Just couldn't see myself throwing down that kind of cash for a scooter.
