Forgive my ignorance, but what was the situation seen in the late 70's and 80's? If there is a glut of motorcycles coming into and being produced, does that not mean more competetive pricing and higher quality for finite amount of money in the motorcycle market?

I'm thinking about trying to find a used 2004 Honda 599 in asphalt grey. I was thinking of making a different purchase, and still may yet, but for my needs the 599 should be just fine. Then again, if the Alphasports are well priced, I may look into a fully faired version.



I believe in cheap and cheap to insure, mated to high quality. I'm cheap.

The "LCD" Display

Is absolutely hideous on the Alpha. I mean come on, talk about reminiscent of 1980's digital clock radio with alarm and snooze button displays, that thing is just gawd-awful. Red? Red? K.I.T. flashback here. Hyosung must gone back in time and nabbed Bonnie from the Knight foundation to design that thing.

Please tell me there are aftermarket offerings for such things.
