Not familiar with these models. Sort of Pan-esk? Cheap?

Quite the funky design, isn't it  :D

Looks like the sort of thing a astronaut would be scooting about on to go and "drive" a space shuttle  ;D

A version of the NTV650 engine?

I like it. A poor man's Goldwing. It would be a great winter hack being all enclosed.
I remember when these were new, Honda spent a lot of money developing the bike and it was really intended for the US. They were very expensive over here and didn't sell very well. I remember them being heavily discounted at the time.
The engine is the V-Twin but not sure if it was a development of the NTV/Bros/Deuville family.

I wasn’t familiar at all with these, think it’ll be a bit marmite! I quite like it if I was looking for a practical commuter. Maybe a nightmare to work on to get that plastic off, easy to clean though like washing a car? Thankfully not on the market for another bike at the moment, and defo not needing to commute!😂
