I bought mine because I needed something for my oldest son to ride when we toured the Western USA at the end of his High School. He was looking at 1400cc crotch rockets and I told him nothing over 750cc so he came back telling me of this Honda he found at a local bike shop. I paid way to much because I was blinded by a father love for his son. I really don't regret it a bit. He put over 8.000 miles on it that first year before he bought himself a Kaw ZX something or other. Now it is mine and I love it.
