I don't want to complain, but this bike is just another new offering I'm not interested in.
I shouldn't judge it without having ridden it but just by the looks & specs I can say this bike does not excite me. V4 - yes, anytime, I'd like to see more, but 800cc and 100hp is too much and probably will be too expensive. How's about half of that, a new gear-drive V4 with 400cc and 50hp? And way less weight, around 180kg? And plastic with some flowing lines, not this added-on looking patchwork of silver, wine-red and black.
This "adventurer" weighs 240kg and has 100 hp. "Fat Pretender" comes to mind.
I'd buy the BMW F800GS with 185kg and 90 hp if it's not much more expensive.

Personally specs are specs... Some machines defy specs to be truly special..

But this looks like a bulbous lump.
