It's hard today to choose a motorcycle that is a perfect fit with so many styles and manufacturers. I have ridden a Honda CB500XA for the last 3 summers, and it is a great bike. Inexpensive to purchase, light, nimble, comfortable, surprizing quick for its size, and reliable. But like most modern motorcycles I find its plastic shrouds, twisted discoloured exhaust pipes, lopsided muffler, swayback seat, and motocross rear end homely.
I am old school, so the motorcycles that are aesthetically pleasing to my eyes are the heritage style bikes like the Triumph Bonnevilles and Honda CB1100 Deluxe or EX. Will I regret selling my CB500? Probably not. Like many Deluxe owners, I am sure the CB1100 EX will put a smile on my face every time I see it.
