Problem is I can't live with them. Expensive to repair (absolutely stupid money) I've discovered. I also agree about the dive from the solid drive shaft.
We don't need to get into belts, chains and drive shafts but for me I'll take a belt first and a chain second.
You Honda guys, if you get tempted to cross over to the dark side check out Triumph. They are worth the look see. I've owned absolutely everything (well almost) and my favorite of all is the Triumph. I am talking new ones not the old vintage stuff. I have no opinion about the vintage stuff. Honda is great. Likely slightly easier to own maybe more practical for a lot of people.
Triumph looks right too. Honda needs to study Triumph.
Many of us have had Bonnevilles or it's siblings, the Scrambler or Thruxton. I can't get past the look on any of the the other Triumphs like the speed triples, street triples, Rocket 3, thunderbird, Bonnie America.
