My first experience with Honda's weird decision to mess with all of us was with my newish CB300R. Looking over the bike for the first time, I noticed the weird placement of the horn button. Didn't take too long to program my thumb to go a little lower for the turn signals. After all, I had spent years with BMW's little tabs at the bottom of both hand controls for left and right turn signals.
What threw me was getting back on to my '13 CB1100 for the first time afterwards and hitting the horn when I wanted the turn signals. The first time was approaching an intersection. There was a car to my immediate left with a little boy in the passenger seat looking at me, so I was able to play it off with a wave hello.
The second time, there was an attractive lady in the passenger seat of the car next to me. I started to wave, but noticed the guy in the driver seat glaring at me, so I just used my raised hand to fiddle with something on my helmet...
