satire follows....
Fresh off Honda Powersports new CTX models (CTX stands for comfort, technology, and experience); which has been in large part a mostly unsuccessful line of products for N. America and a few other markets; HPS has come up with another great product line idea that will be mostly ignored and/or made fun of by enthusiasts and media outlets on this continent.
Introducing the first in a line of Honda PTW pickups; the CTP700SB. A 1.25'WX2L'X.75H pickup box that, unlike no other current pickup manufactured for sale in N America, this one quickly folds down to a flat bed, making it more useful for more tasks. And since the box sits directly on the pillion seat, it has payload capability over 250 pounds, and the box itself is rated at over 900 pounds meaning this little box can handle a load. And the rider gets all this utility for the solo commuter and/or handyman vehicle owner and up to 75 mpg, real world, in a mid-size 100+ mph mc.
Watch in the near future for a long bed and also a 2UP-capable pickup bike as HPS will integrate the long wheel base NM4 to get the length needed for a crew cab. According to HPS officials, we'll soon even have a dump bed available with a NC700X-style pickup; the bed will be hinged and dump-able in order to provide this added function and to access the filler cap, which is, of course under the pillion seat on this particular model
