This bike is one of the 2 motorcycles I fell in love with right away, when looking through the Honda catalog. I fell for the look immediately. This bike has the look I always thought a bike should have...sporty...lean...comfortable. I bought mine in May 02 and I´m glad I did!! It is so maneuverable and comfortable. Those are the 2 traits I spotted right away. It has the power for a big guy like me (6´; 250 lbs) and I´m confident I could ride it on a long trip without problems. Looks great too!! My other Honda dream bike is the Valkyrie, but that´s on another page.
