I do think cost was a factor in choosing the cast wheels over spokes, but havIng tubed tires was a voiced concern from some folks here and I suspect a valid one. I'm cool with no spokes, and suspect the rims and engine will be silver.
I have no doubt Honda refers to this site for feedback as we'll they should. I would have liked white, but understand why they chose the colors they did for us Americans. Red works for me just fine, especially that beautiful red on these. I love all the other changes they made for the new model, and am astonished the bike hasn't been more widely adopted by the U.S.
People here often "like what they know" more than "know what they like." What I love about this bike is it is its own category. No squids, pirates, Long Way Round hopefuls or Hipsters, God bless them all, get it.
Fine by me. Come on Spring!
