Kyle, I do in fact remember walking into a Honda dealer in 1984 and seeing them both. For me, the 650 was the winner, hands down. I wanted a Windjammer with a decent windshield, a set of highway pegs, a sissy bar, and a luggage rack for trips. The 700S looked boxy to me, and its paint had no depth. On top of that, the exhaust pipes were painted. My reaction was, "Yuck." I thought the designers had lost their way.
When I joined this group, I noticed that people seemed to be enamored of the 700S. I couldn't understand it. Now, after 5 or 6 years of listening to people talk affectionately about them.....I still can't understand it. Sorry. But, as someone once said, although I personally disagree with your opinion, I'll defend to the death your right to have it! There is no accounting for taste. A 1983 in the wineberry color has been on my bucket list for a while. A 700S, well, not yet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
