Does look good. Man thats a lot of storage space on that bike.

That would make a great light weight touring bike. The price is right considering the additions.

Nobody ever talks about the CB650F for some reason. I don't know anything about that model, not even on the radar.

The CBR650F is in the lineup to bridge the perceived price and performance gap between the CBR500R and the CBR600RR.

With the 650 DOHC 16-valve inline four, it seems like Honda came up with a versatile standard bike at an attractive price. It develops 86 HP at 11,000 rpm and 46 ft-lbs of torque at 8,000 rpm (fairly high in the rev range...this is not an engine to be lugged).

With decent ergos and weighing 454 lbs wet, it might be a fun bike to ride!

ok was just emptying the dishwasher , thinking about this thread, and figured out exactly what I want.

I want a NC750X with hydraulic valves and shaft drive

Sounds good!

Such a great-looking machine:

those guys can't possibly be going around curves and having fun since those aren't really high horsepower, high-tech sport bikes, can they Capo?

Very misleading photos

+1 Ferret, I loved my '73 R75 and thought it's performance more than enough. It may have produced 45 hp at the rear wheel, I don't really know but it performed well at all tasks to include being a touring bike.

Oh man...doubly whammy. Only 45 hp AND shaft drive? That motorcycle could not have been any fun to ride at all! Sorry birds
