New Owner Next Week

It's a smooth ride, I'm still getting used to some slight in line 4 buzziness, my triumph scrambler is smoother, but not as quick, almost tho. That's my only complaint everything else is perfect

The buzziness puzzles me.

If you hold the engine speed between 2000 and 3000 rpm...the ride is fine. In 6th gear, that translates to 60 mph. Nice, fine cruise ride.

FASTER than that, and out here our speed limits are 75 mph...it does get buzzy. My concerns, aside from comfort, are that I'm not lugging it too much at the lower RPMs like that.

More cycle porn for those who appreciate it:

First inline 4, or have you had others? All my previous bikes have been variations on singles and twins. When I got my CB, I was likewise surprised at the "buzziness" that everyone else deems to be smooth. Very different than the hammer thumps I was accustomed to, but even miles later I am still not inclined to call it smooth. You do learn to appreciate it though!

First inline 4

I was shopping for a 3...wanted to find a BMW K75. They're supposed to be buttery smooth; but they've been out of production 20 years. And the prices they command, when a good one pops up, are not to be believed.

I know a four has inherent vibration - I've had any number of four-cylinder cars and trucks. Have two right now. But I had hoped Honda had this beat.

It's better than others. Better than the heavy-duty vibration my huge BMW oilhead boxer put out...talk about building an engine up past its optimal size!...thing's a tractor engine.

It is what it is; and I'm suited with it. Probably my last new bike.
