This older Honda seems to be ahead of its time. The powerplant is what makes this bike nice. It loves to purr along at 6k rpm and will jump to 9k quickly (red Line). It is to bad that it is so small. The 16 inch rear and the suspension is made for small people. My 5´2´ wife fit it well. I did commute on it for a couple of weeks and it had plenty of power for me (225lbs).
