A couple of things I wish were different about the '17: no limiters, and make the entire engine silver. Neither bother me enough to be a major problem.
Sure, I would like more power and less weight, but those aren't part of Honda's plan. I would also like their super-expensive heated grips to be included as standard, as they are on the T120. Lastly, while the new forks clearly seem to be an upgrade, and the shocks are supposedly better too, I still would have preferred Showa's top-of-the-line BPF setup.
Lastly, yeah, the price. $12,199 plus all the extra b.s. is just too much for this bike. Checking kbb.com, the '17 is already down to $7,230-$10,260. That's quite a bitter pill to swallow.
I am going to buy a '17 EX, but the price is going to have to be right.
