After nearly two years and 11,000 miles I've traded in my Suzuki for a very fancy Honda, I pick it up in a couple of weeks at most, could be next week.

Fancy Honda? That’s not an Africa Twin?? Good choice. Cracking bikes.

Bloody fabulous bike. I had one on loan for 2 hours, tried desperately to buy one the same-day but didn't quite work out

Quick shifter version?

[Taipan]

That exhaust though!

[Skub]

Happy new bike day.

I bet you don't keep that stock can. Looks very tidy otherwise. For a Homda.

[Yorick]

That's a big price for 3 year old bike. I'm obviously way out of touch

[ChrisW]

Congratulations - I've come fairly close to getting one of these a couple of times. Look forward to hearing how you find it.

The bike market is very odd here these days - I was offered a trade-in price £600 less than I paid new for my 5 year old bike!

Yes, it's the plus model, more power and traction options than I know what to do with

I've had a look and it's priced about right, maybe a little high, but I know I'll get good service.

That looks lovely. Let us know how you get on riding it, they're on my 'maybe' list.

Will do, expect endless boring ride reports

[Dodgy69]

Nice looking bike that, don't mind the pipe coz it's short. Pretty rapid I'd imagine.

[KungFooBob]

You're gonna need a a new helmet.

[Supermofo]

That really is a good looking bike (can aside), top bombing mate!

I know Honda have a reputation, but at least start off with a positive attitude eh? You never know!

Happy Days!
I saw this thread last night and for some reason I thought it was Tiepins

That's a great choice, I hope you'll gel with it but at this point I think you've made a great decision and it's way more 'you' than the mid-range Suzuki.
I bet that's going to feel like a premium bike and the sort of thing that will tick the box to give you that feeling of riding something special.

The only thing I might do would be to put an end can on and then leave it, it looks ace

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

I see it as a premium version of the same sort of bike as my Suzuki, which is what I want, I've just been out on the Suzuki for 40 miles, it was an enjoyable ride, but I've moved on mentally to the Honda, I think the next time I ride the Suzuki will be when I trade it in.

Them days are over now...

I don't know what the specs are on paper but I see it as a significant step up from the Suzuki, I'd expect the Honda to feel a lot more premium and special, it certainly looks it.

[weeksy]

They ride superbly too. I was massively impressed
