Is Honda working on a Long-Travel unit? We most certainly think so and these recent patents images prove it.
Take a look for yourself. You will notice the tie rods have been redesigned allowing them to sit inside more the currently found on the SxS line. This redesign allows for larger travel from the front unit. It could also equal sharper turning radius the currently found in the market. Whichever, it is definitely a win-win for us buyers.

Do you think we will see a long travel for the 2017 release?

awesome, this image looks like it will have more suspension travel. good job on the find. with this image and the patent I found on the swing arm and suspension, including the new seat arrangement with bucket seats and new seat belt system. Honda has big plans to hopefully release something awesome. I also found one that was title evaporating fuel management system. the images look like it will have a internal fuel pump in the tank with a new tank vent line and a new updated o2 sensor for emissions.
