I then explored other manufactures. Triumph, too expensive, and the dealer sucked. Moto Guzzi, (v7) great looker, but limited servicability (dealer was 2hrs away), and low on power. BMW, way way way too expensive.
What sold me on the Honda, other than it looking good, was that it was a Honda..they rarely break, very smooth, and did I mention, it looks great!
I'm in the 18-24 crowd and I hate sportbikes and not looking for a cruiser yet.
Very well stated. I test rode the Guzzi and liked it for its simplicity. But it is way down on power for highway use and the dealers are few and far between if you travel at all. I've done 20,000 miles on Honda Nighthawks and aside from clogged carbs after buying used, they were alway spot on running like a top. Aftermarket shocks are my only to do list.
