The short, double edged, heavy bladed one commonly used to dispatch unruly Christians chaps the Romans didn't like.  FTFY |

Always nice to see someone who wants a slower, heavier version of a good platform.  Also nerdier. Don't forget that.  |

this is my hammer. my dad gave it to me. he got it from his dad who got it from his before him. it's been in the family for generations. we've had to replace the handle a few times and the head twice but it priceless because of its family history.

I think he's thinking more along the lines of, say, the Deauville done by Suzuki on this platform.
Probably. Myself, I would love to see a bike like an FJR or ST done in a 650 or 750 format. |

Isn't that the Deauville...?  Or... ask and ye shall receive: http://www.cfmoto-us.com/onroad/  And don't discount the Aprilia Mana GT, |

Exactly, only make her shaft drive. I do not need big HP or 160+ mph ability. Even a 650 V-twin, shafty in full ST wrappings with luggage will have enough pep and be able to get away from Mr. Cager in easy fashion. |

And I wouldn't be one bit surprised if it had a motor from one of the Big 4 innit. A young dude I know bought a 200 or 250cc 4 Chinese-made enduro in KTM orange plastics. I bitched him out for being stupid. Went out and looked at the bike when he got it and it had a damn Suzuki engine.   Backtracked on some chiding promptly. Not sure about the rest of the bike, only time will tell. |

It seems that the CF has a copy of the Kawi 650 twin.

Suzuki might have just guaranteed that Honda never sells a single NC700X.
Nah, I can pretty much guarantee that they will sell one in approximately April 2013.  |

That's excellent news. I think that bike's potential is HUGE. |

+1, I'd like to see it do well. I'd like to see some more practical bikes sell more in the U.S. That's when we'll start to see some more variety. |
