I know is not a bike, but still Honda
Can anybody using Honda 1.5 L turbo engine with CVT power plant provide feedback, any problems???
Thinking of buying a low mileage 2017 Honda CR-V Lx equipped with the above ..
Not interested with links, internet reviews, just from drivers or their friends.
Thanks all who responded.

We're still in the 80s here at home, but I'm looking forward to packing my mesh gear away for cooler weather. I'm wondering if I'll miss my old BMW's heated grips when it gets down to the lower 50s on some of my winter commute mornings.

My wife and I just took a driving trip, and since she likes to pack for temperature possibilities ranging from volcanic to arctic, I decided to help her by listing the forecasted temperatures for each of our stops. The forcasts were wildly optimistic, and it was much colder in most places than we anticipated. But, we survived just fine.

I was surprised to see as many riders as we did in some places. I guess you just get used to your surroundings. We were in Flagstaff, waiting at a red light, and a guy wearing jeans and a regular textile jacket whizzed by on an FZ07. For reference, I took a quick shot of our car's temp reading.

Guess that makes me sort of a wuss...

I'm back to the grind today after being on vacation for a week. Half-way to the office, the car pool lane backed up, and I could see red and blue lights up ahead. Figured it was the CHP nailing single drivers in the car pool, which they occasionally crack down upon.

Unfortunately, as I got closer, I could see that it was a sport bike laying on its side, about to be yanked up onto a flatbed tow truck. No rider standing around and no ambulance, so I surmised that he or she must have been transported already, and this was the final cleanup.

I've been back to this job since January, and this has been the first rider down that I've seen on my route. The bike didn't look too demolished, so hope the rider will be ok. Not something you like to see.

Hi any suggested brands for side mount plate number which also has light!

Thanks

Canadian Rockies. Mid-day, but the shadow is long...:

it looks as if the PIRELLI Phantom Sportscomp Tire is about to become available in 110/80-18 and 150/70-18 this is my favorite tire ever, but it appears it will cost $200.95 and $277.95 respectively. $478.90 for a set of tires? I just can't. I'm going to be sick!

finally ordered my arrow exhaust. it's on the way!

So, new (to me) 2014 CB1100 Deluxe. Bike was delivered yesterday (1 Nov 2019). Only had time to slap a plate on it and take it over to get an inspection sticker. Bike was showing just over 3100 mi. Spent some time going over all the controls, and inspecting tires, chain, oil, etc. Took my first 200+ mile ride today (with 50 degree temps). While I know this bike is no Hyabusa, or 1100RR. I was more than happy with the power and handling. I have a suspicion that this bike is capable of more than what my average skill-set would ever demand. Throttle response is almost too good. I found myself lurching a few times, trying to sync clutch action with throttle position. Big difference between this and my '99 Valkryie Interstate. Braking is top notch as well. I love the fact that it comes with a center-stand (a rarity these days); has a cruising range of around 200 miles; and delivers a buzz-free ride right up to speeds I would typically ride at. Stock seat is fairly comfortable, but I'll make my REAL assessment after I manage to clock a 4 to 5 hundred mile day on it. I thought the suspension was fine as is, but most likely may 'dial it in' somewhat after I log some significant miles. Passing light is an interesting feature, but a lot of times I ride with the high-beam on for better day-time visibility, so it serves no purpose in that instance. 4-way flashers - yes! It's about time! The horns are a step up from the normal Honda squeaky toy offerings, but it will be tempting to fit a set with a bit more punch. Gear shift indicator is nice - first bike I've owned that features this. Not thrilled with the turn signal indicators on the instrument panel. Will be searching threads to see if anyone has found a bulb swap to improve the visibility on these. Side stand can be a bit tricky when deploying. I'm used to just pushing my boot down just aft of the foot peg to engage this. Find I'm having to look down to hit the tang properly. Again, just need to get familiar with the machine. Not thrilled that Honda cheaped out on the tool kit (I've seen the threads on this) Already ordered items to create a full set. Bummed that Honda continues to shod their new rides with Bridgestone tires - looking forward to my first set of Avons when these hit their wear limit. P.O. had installed a Puig fly screen - leaving this on there for now. Immediate wants are the engine case guards and a travel rack. Reactions, and other input welcome!

sorry, I don't know where to really put this.. someone earlier posted some pics of a 1975 goldwing they had just purchased.. I wanted to share my pics of an early serial numbered 1975 goldwing that I had owned..

Have any of the forum members installed C Bow mounts and used these bags with them? If so, I'd be interested in seeing a photo of the side of your bike with bags installed.
