(for us in America)

Yes indeed. Maybe some of the other color choices too.

If Honda sold the spoked wheel version here I'd buy one today.

Amazing how many posters really would like wire spoke wheels (including me)

I'm amazed how people want to add tubes and other problems that comes with spokes. I'm happy with mag wheels.

Spokes. The one part of "retro" I'm more than happy to compromise on. Cleaned enough of those in my time

Spokes aren't THAT big of a negative. My Bonnie had spokes and tubes. They look look great on a retro bike. A little S-100 kept them clean. They have only needed a tension check once. No issues with flats in 11 years (knock on wood). Just replace the tube when you replace the tire and get good tubes.

That said, I like the silver mags on my dlx.

I have spokes on my Griso - tubeless no less. Love the look, but if it means tubes, forgetaboutit.

Insofar as maintenance I like the mags....retro aesthetics.....spokes.
