This time, these guys knew exactly what I was riding and immediately came over and wanted to talk about it. I'm with Guth on this.... It is pretty cool having a 'toy' new in its life cycle especially when it evokes such interesting conversation. I think this bike could be a real opportunity for Honda, and perhaps other Japanese brands, to dig into their heritage and build on their past. Lets face it, that's what Harley does so well. How many times have you seen a Harley pull up and you knew exactly what year it was or how old it was? Unless its an older model, or a first year V-Rod, I bet rarely.Well said... I have a couple of old BMW's and my CB draws as much conversation as the vintage bikes do.
I hope the younger generation takes to this bike and Honda and the others can build upon it. Who knows...why not a new CB500, 750, or Kawasaki 900?
