Hey! And speaking of "Jap" stuff here...NEW "Jap" stuff that is(as I would take in heartbeat if someone offered to give me, say, a nice '69 or '70 Honda CB750 or say a nice '79 or '80 Suzuki GS1000S or say a nice '73 or '74 Kawasaki Z1 or say...aah but I digress, and I thought we were talking about NEW machines here anyway)...as I ventured though the Phoenix Int'l Motorcycle Show a few weeks back, I gotta say I kind'a liked that Honda CTX1300 sport-touring bike, as to MY eye at least, it doesn't look THAT much like a "Transformer" and I THINK it has some really nice lines to it overall.
(...it looks like a bike that one could go some really long distances on and in real comfort, and yet not nearly was much bike to throw around as Honda's Goldwing)
