...this one at Dobles motorcycles in Surrey has only 350 miles, on a "59" plate and is shown as £5795 (before haggling!)
Now thats a real bike for ya !
Regarding 2 wheels Honda like BMW have an unassailable rep for quality, so this bike will be well built.
not sure where this bike sits as a big auto, i think as a rider of both a Piagio 500 X9 maxi scooter (auto trans) and a Yamaha dragstar 1100 cruiser (brutish manual), the fun on country lanes is definately with the manuals, but for sheer stress free open road cruising then the maxi scooter score high.
so depends on your needs, but not one for the rip away dispatch riders amongst, more for the 'born again' regressive over 50's i'd think
personally i don't like the front fairing, looks like 4 foot of plastic with no real reason to exist.
(bit like the C5 in a way ;D)
