No reason in particular. Just havnt had the right combination of time off from work and good weather to do any multi day trips. Should have some opportunities coming up soon that I am looking forward to though.

Being able to shift into 6th and cruise down the highway at 80 and still be well under 4K rpms is pretty great. Somebody with a 5speed would have to comment on just how tall the 5th gear is.
I'm curious what the 5 speed guys have to say. I just love the red so much, it's a pain to find any left over Deluxes

2013 owner here. Cruising at 70 mph has me around 4000 rpm, which honestly is a bit smoother than the 3500 rpm range. Less vibey. Something about Honda's choice to make this engine run a little rougher to add "chatacter"
