Great purchase.  Normally I wouldn't give this bike a second look.  The engine is far too small and lacks power.  But, the package is perfect! The small engine makes good low end power and the bike is well suited to the power delivery - I've read all great reviews of the driveline.

It's also a Honda - meaning impeccable quality.  They make great bikes, period.  I've owned many Hondas and they were all high quality bikes.
Pretty much. Guys have reported cruising all day at 80mph. Good enough to tour. And the torque is good for single and double trails...though suspension will need to be altered for more serious work.

Apparently it somehow gets the same mpg as my scooter...in the high 3s

Cool. I don't know anything about bikes, but something multipurpose like this seems like the right way to go for a lot of people. Congrats on the new toy!

**UPDATE**

I look everywhere.  Can't find the ownership.  Call dealer.  "Oh, we forgot to transfer it into your name.".

FFS.....

They are allegedly Fedex-ing the ownership overnight...

It's funny.

I'm not terribly fond of it!  But several people seem to really like it.  IQ thinks is awesome too.

Huh....

Thanks for the kind words.
