This is honestly the best bike I have ever owned and I have owned a bunch. Love riding it, love looking at it. Love everything about it but that dang left handlebar switch ...had to apologize today to a nice older lady when I pulled in behind her into a parking lot and (again) hit my horn instead of cancelling my turn signal
Close to perfection for me.
Oh and I take it back about not caring about the 6th gear in the trans. It has turned out to be sooo sweet. Necessary? NO! Sweet? YES!
Pretty powerful statement considering all of the motorcycles you have owned in your life. Coming from you it scares me how much I would like a CB1100.
You know, after 10 years of riding with self canceling signals I like the Honda setup better but I cant for my life seem to remember to turn them off.I guess I am going to be a torture test for who ever makes the flasher in these 750's.
Just a quick question on 6th gear. At what speeds is it usable say like on the 2 lane state highways. These 750's dont have anywhere near the torque of the 1100's but I am amazed how usable every bit of the power is even down to 2500 or so puttering through town in 5th gear.

OldF7guy...I dont even use 6 th until I am at 60 or above. I like the responsiveness of the motor in 5 th below that. I know one memeber said they cruised, I want to say either BRP or Natchez Trace, at 45 mph in 6 th.
