They're not bad bikes, I suppose if you want to grind out miles but don't want a Goldwing this may be your ticket. Even though Honda shamelessly appropriated my initials, even throwing in the old "13" (sorry guys, those days are long gone...) I still wouldn't buy one, just not my style I'm afraid....too much vanilla for me. If I wasn't on the ol' Decker it'd be a Norge` or Tiger, maybe an R1200RT...K1300GT...Connie 14....hell I think the Crossbones is pretty cool looking come to that, I saw one with some upswept Samson Fishtails that was the flippin' bees knees!!
