I just wanted to share new bike day for the wife and I . We bought the 6spd manual version .
Honda got the driveshaft right on this one. It uses a CV joint unlike other shafts. Only one on the road currently using this design and I can't tell it doesn't have a chain on it. Killer brakes
< really>, slipper clutch, big bang firing sequence - it rocks ! Low miles so i've been easy on it but it handles great and feels thin and nimble when riding. Nice and comfortable for my over 6' frame which is something really needed these days. The engine is a nice, simplistic layout.
I have owned many a motorcycle over the years and really like this one.
