Real or future?

Notice how Honda used the same frame as the Rebel. The top tube goes uphill...steeply.
Probably to achieve a low seat height for the cruiser Rebel.
Thus the tank has to be tilted up too.
A proper Standard should look like the image on the right, or the post above.
Hopefully someone at Honda will bring this up to the boss. Put those fine engineers to work!

I would be happy even if they just faked it. They could simply make the edge of the tank cover the part in front and it would look better.
On the other hand I don't worry about it too much when I'm riding. I look like a dork anyway with my hi-viz Helite Turtle 2 airbag vest.
The price I had to pay to convince my wife and probably a smart thing to wear since I am definitely visible and a good deal safer with it on.
