I bought my 1999 Tourer new in 99. I saw the Honda display in Daytona that year and couldn´t get over how well thought out and built the powertrain was. I had a hard time with the fact that after 30 years of European bikes I was lusting after a JAP (I know it´s made in USA) bike. One demo ride - the money came out - and I drove it home. That was three years ago and it has over 12,000 on it and every mile a pleasure. It also gets along very well with the BSA,BMW, and Guzzi.
