Yep, it's not that I don't like it, just if I could own one motorcycle this would never be it, a Transalp, Versys, WeeStrom et-al would all be capable of giving me some excitement and tempt me out to blast around the back lanes at the weekend, the Honda would sit in the garage awaiting the next time I want to get somewhere cheaply - exactly what it is designed for.GrahamD said:I like the thing myself. It's not a penis extender though. It just works well as an everyday bike as far as I can see.
The only other dissapointment is 6k service intervals, as this is half a car motor with low redline I am dissapointed Honda could not make the intervals 10k or 12k, many commuters will need two or more services a year, If Triumph can manage 12k intervals on a much higher state of tune bike why not Honda with a low revving car motor :question: Personally I would just do the oil changes and basics myself, but many in this market may not want to become a mechanic to benefit from cheap motorcycling - that was how things worked 50 years ago, but not these days.
