I used mine regularly & is reliable just change the engine oil every 1000miles & do the chain adjustments when needed or will clatter inside the chain guard. Plenty for sale but be aware of ex pizza or delivery bikes as they are thrashed around & short on servicing. Parts are plentyful. Make sure the plastics on the body work are tight or will rattle. Capable of high milages but must be maintained properly. When buying second hand check it properly all over & if you aint sure walk away as some are ex delivery & tarted up. Good bike.

I love the bike for its fuel economy, handling in town, and day to day use. However, the build quality seems very poor. After 3 months the gear indicator lights failed. After 6 months the plastic cowellings began to crack in a number of places. After a year the seat hinge broke. I have had to strip the front disc brake on 3 occasions due to it seasing. After 21000 miles the big end has failed and needed replacing, despite my changing the oil every 1000 miles from new. My experienced mechanic, after stripping down the engine, has the opinion that the parts are poor qaulity, may be Chinese and not Honda quality. I paid £1650 for the bike new, and would have expected much better build quality from a Honda.
