Yep. the CF Moto Ibex 450 is also coming here for 2025. I call them the mini Africa Twins. Ducati and one other manufacturer are also getting into the 400-500cc "Africa Twin" style off road bike segment too. The CF Moto in particular has a ton of features and really nice parts.

Yup, I posted a CFMoto 450 Ibex thread in the ADV section. Felt that the Honda announcement went a bit better in the <other brands> section ;)

I happened to be poking around on the web yesterday looking for chinese bikes in the 400 to 600 range which also have 21 inch front tires. About the only thing I found was the Rieju 500 Adventure. It was pricy though.

Seems the same as the cb500x, if you ask me.
I wished Honda would make a fuel injected 150-200cc bike under 200 lbs. Preferably a dual sport or naked touring.
All these 400+ lbs bikes are still way too heavy for my comfort.

Honda tends to always be the heaviest bikes in their given class. They generally sacrifice weight for reliability and durability. Just the way they are. If they do make a light weight bike, it's rarely cheap.
