Nice article, Sean. One thing about the Honda 599 that may have riders looking elsewhere is its price. I'm sure it's a competent bike, even one I'd like to own, but with its F2 engine and lack of supension adjustments, I sure wouldn't want to pay $7099 for one. It reminds me a little of the old Yamaha Radian, which was a "parts bin" bike, but was also competent. When compared with the much sexier Triumph, I think it comes up short. With an MSRP of, say,
$6199, the 599 would be a more attractive package.
