I think you had to be around for the original, when the UJB was revolutionizing motorcycling, to appreciate the retro.
And, let's face it - air-cooling has compromises; and the power specs aren't so amazing. For the displacement, 85hp is a bit low. For a bike, a redline in the mid-fifties, is a bit low, also. It's not a put-off for me; I know what I'm buying; but the kids, or thirtysomethings...they see this and wonder what it's all about.
Jut to cap it all, Honda should have put a kick starter on it. What better way to make their jaws drop?
