Xl700v
Getting bored with the UK website infatuation with sports bike reporting, I have done a search for this new bike; yep, there it is, written up by a French website (which makes sense because the bike is at the Paris bike show right now!!):-
Nouveau Honda XL700V Transalp 2008 - emoto
Looks like that pic is "correct" then (or they have stolen it from elsewhere and have not been to their own show  ).
Now my French is rubbish, but I can tell from this report that you do get a choice of colours, so the buying public is not stuck with that metallic brown - how about metallic yellow, red, grey or blue?
Seems that it may have 17"/19" wheels, weighs in at 214 Kg, the seat height is 841 mm and it carries 17.5 litres of fuel.
