I have had Hondas all my life and they still make a lot of what I like. The 500 platform should do well for them. Long live Honda.

Honda''s really taking a chance here. A line up of 500cc twins in the USA? Good luck. I meanit. I hope they sell.
On theother hand that Gold Wing just beat out the Victory Vision for ugliest most outlandish bike for 2013.

I love the Wing description as "innovative styling."
H-D has been selling Street Glides for how many years now? |

What? You don't think that a flat 6 makes a good styling platform? 800lbs of road holding weight is just what you need in the teisties. l'll bet those Rocket3 owners are putting their bikes on craigsllist right now!!!

Why didn't they go with the Valkyrie motif? At least you could get used to that.

Even Honda has been amazed at how well they're doing with the CB250R, so it seems like there's a market out there for lower cost bikes that aren't Chinee junk bikes sold at auto parts stores. Of course Kawi has completely updated their Ninja 250...to a 300. The only thing I don't like about this 500 series is the inline twin setup. Buzzy, no torque.

Twins can be buzzy, but using a triple or a four would proboably push the price point too high and would add substantial weight.
