Good Points

Looks and feel good factor, fuel economy and good strong build, bullet proof engine.


Bad Points

Catches the wind, standard Bridgestone trail wind tyres don't inspire confidence. Expensive to buy and Honda service is not cheap.


General Comments

I bought this bike 3 months ago, she was 11 months old when purchased. It takes a bit of getting used to but I have now done over 2000 miles and she just gets better as my confidence grows. I am only 5ft 6" and I thought I might have had a problem getting my feet down but I am still upright with no problems. I have been caught in very blustery wind and rain and only for the bikes weight I might have had problems staying up, although it definetly catches the wind. I am only getting back into biking after a long time in a cage (car) so these are only my intial thoughts. I would recommend this bike as a sure way to beat the fuel blues and put a grin on your face as you pass the sad ones at the lights.
