Despite my long-standing aversion of Honda motorcycles (I continue to think they are too refined, too reliable, too well finished, too smooth, too generic, too polished to have any strong character to them) - if this bike is relatively as "good" as its little brother the 600RR is, then everything else will be second string in terms of handling and sheer performance.
But would I WANT one? Would I LUST after one? Prob'ly not. It's a damned HONDA! I have appliances in my kitchen that also work wonderfully well, that also don't give me any crap, but that also don't excite me. Give me an ornery, maintenance intensive, gorgeous sounding, great handling, temperamental, beautiful Italian red-head any day. I'm weak for her charms!
