The most sophisticated, smooth, perfectly engineered motorcycle I've ever owned. A pleasure in every way.

rtmoto1, welcome to the new forum. Although all or some of the posts you made on the old forum have moved across, the pictures haven't. Perhaps you can post some photos of the bike?

Meanwhile, if the old forum is online, there's a couple of pictures here.

It certainly is , it’s so far removed from how it was to ride when new to now , Honda certainly did a great job with the rigidity of the frame and engine when designing it a lot of improvement can be gleaned from this bike

That is one impressive motorcycle,  rtmoto1. Nice work. That swingarm is a piece of art.
There's a difference in riding a naked bike and riding a bike naked.
Won't make that mistake again.
