I don't think any of us gave up on Honda....Honda gave up on us. They stopped making anything worth it. I mean they are supreme in the sportbike & dirtbike world but they fell off the map on cruisers.

The only Honda bike I would ride now is the CB1100EX and I would have to heavily modify it. I'm actually thinking about picking one of those up and making it in to a café racer.

The price is right in line with the Indian Roadmaster but this appears to be a better thought out machine. It looks better than a Harley Eletra Glide with a starting price well below the Harley!!

I have noticed unfortunately.
I am going back a few years in Honda historic Tory for my next bike.
Looking for a Valkyrie interstate.
