First, I don't disagree with the sentiments expressed here, especially concerning HONDA. I'm very happy with my CB. As a shop manager at a multi-brand dealership, including HONDA, I feel it's worth mentioning that we exist because we are dealing with machines and machines have problems whether we are talking about HONDA motorcycles, FORD trucks, LEXUS automobiles, et al! Most of you, like me, probably realize that HONDA has had more recalls across their product line in the last 10-12 years than they had in the previous 40 years combined. The reason we have a 2-3 week backlog of service work is not just doing oil changes. All those customers who have experiences contrary to our love fest with our HONDAs' could paint a very different picture! One of my sons owns a 2013 HONDA ODYSSEY that has had over $3,000 worth of electrical, suspension, and drivetrain repairs (covered under warranty). Fortunately, I can help him to understand my point above and not totally condemn a manufacturer for his experience.
