Have you ridden the Honda 500? I've read many positive reviews of it - not powerful, but torquey and entertaining.
Yes! But a local 2013 for $5400. 2016 is much improved though, which I saw at a dealer (no time to ride that one today). Which is why it's on the list. Feels small and compact. More than enough power for Adv. riding.
Not sure I want to spend $8200 though.
2013 would be the way to go since I'd ultimately have the Rally Raid kit on it. But I really like the improved bits on the 2016.
