I found this review very helpful because...good cross section of riding environments, two up and still handling well, good advice on tyres which is a constant point of argument with Honda only recommending two brands yet there are many others equally as good if not better, it is just finding a well balanced review after all the bike is a sports tourer and that is what the review should be all about the bikes core purpose. Well done a great review with plenty of info.
