I’m with Mickey. I’d live with it. US$143 would buy a couple of beers at least with change for some new guitar strings. But, I agree, it is disappointing.
I’ve said before that I’m not persuaded by all the praise for Honda’s alleged fit and finish. I’ve some rust around the lower triple tree which is not acceptable and should not be there. Motorbikes get wet and he materials used should be fit for purpose and they’re clearly not. I’ve also got plenty of ‘fin rot’ (flaking engine paint) which I think is also an example of poor quality.
I never wanted a garage queen and it makes me less stressed about where I ride it. Still, it could be more robust than it is.
