Not sure why anyone would want riding modes and ABS on a motorcycle. My riding mode is one which adapts to the prevailing conditions and is determined by me, the rider.

ABS is compulsory now on all bikes over 125cc. Riding modes are one of the current fashions that manufacturers think that we want. Maybe newbies with their iphones and gadgets like them.
On a 200bhp superbike a Rain mode might make sense, but not on a bike like this.

Showing my age here; I'm not good at keeping up to date with modern bikes, the newest bike I've ridden was made in 1978, so I can't comment in an informed way, but I had no idea there were so many things like ABS, ride modes, and slipper clutches etc. I read an article recently that suggested some younger riders find classic bikes scary/dangerous to ride. I think I'm beginning to understand why now. I am intrigued though and might have to try and have a go on a modern machine.

Go for a test ride on a modern bike with a quickshifter (sometimes called "shift assist").
It's quite addictive.

The image is CGI, not a real bike. The info says parallel twin, yet image shows a 4. It also says it has an aluminium frame then contradicts that with a lightweight steel frame.
Let's wait and see.

Good point Sherlock. Got to say I thought that myself re 2025. Didn't read much spec but saw visually it was a 4. Thinking about it wouldn't Honda tease us with the idea well before, as they did with the 2026 retro CB900...?
florence:
if it is a twin it might have twin exhaust ports which would account for the four header pipes.
