Agreed. I sat on one yesterday and I think this one is a winner. The seat is comfy, including a spacious pillion section. The bags are roomy enough for my purposes. The v-4 should provide ample torque and it sounds beemer smooth. The only down I found was the peg position which I personally found to be too far forward to be standard (which would be my preference for such a bike) and too far back to be considered forward. I also found the handle bars from the comfort perspective to be quite nice while finding them from the appearance perspective to be nothing short of butt ugly. All in all, it should be a likely candidate for anyone looking for a comfortable, smooth ride with Honda reliability built in. However, the price of this ride places it into the spot when some other nice bikes of equal purpose and established reputation reside.
