2006 honda 750 aero
By (I am an Owner) on Apr 12, 2015I LOVE THE BIKE BUT LIKE MANY THE SEAT WAS VERY
UNCOMFORTABLE SO I SPENT A LITTLET OVER 500.00 FOR A NEW SEAT AND IT WAS THE BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT I RIDE WITH SEVERAL GUYS WHO HAVE BMW AND HARLEYS I AM THE ONLY ONE NOT COMPLAING AFTER A LOND DAY ON THE BIKE , I WAS THINKING OF SELLING BECAUSE ... I COULD BARLEY RIDE AN HOUR BUT NOW ALL DAY IN THE SADDLE IS NO PROBLEM. I ALSO ADDED A WINDSHEILS,FLOOR BOAREDS AND HIGHWAY PEGS
I HAD A 2008 GOLDWING AND THIS SEAT IS MORE COMFORTABLE ,THERE ARE DAYS I MISS THE GOLDWING BUT THE AERO DOES MEET MY NEEDS AT A FRACTION OF THE COST

love this bike
By (I am an Owner) on Jan 04, 2011just started driving this past summer and for a first bike this is perfect, easy to handle and enough power to get the job done. The only thing I would change would be the seat.

Awesome First Bike
By (I am an Owner) on Nov 10, 2009I bought my bike in March 2008. It was the first bike I have owned after taking the Riders Safety Course. I was amazed and how comfortable it is. I was a little scared that I wouldn't be able to lift it if it fell (over 700 pounds). I learned the proper way for anyone to lift a bike and when ... it fell over in a parking lot, I was able to amaze some onlookers by "lifting" it back up. It has more than enough power for short and intermediate trips and will keep up with most cruisers unless they are running over a 100mph. Once you are over 70, there is a slight change to the engine sound, but no hesitation or stutter. In the year I rode (haven't been able to ride since Feb 2009) I put about 5000 miles on mine. I highly recommend this as a starter bike. Smooth ride and easy to handle, very low to the ground.

2006 Aero 750
By (I am an Owner) on Sep 29, 2009This is my first bike. So far, its only negative points are the seat- VERY uncomfortable, and the power output on the interstate. Around town it does great; about 50-55 mpg. On the interstate it gets about 35 mpg, but rides smooth up to aroud 90 mph. Overall, it's a very nice, good looking, extremely ... dependable motorcycle, and handles great. I've had no mechanical complaints whatsoever. Would reccomend to anyone looking for a solid, dependable first time bike.

A great second bike
By (I am an Owner) on Jan 07, 2009This bike is a great 2nd bike if you are looking for a cruiser style bike. The seat height is great for me, 6'1". The engine is a little anemic with only about 40 hp. Bike looks great and rides smooth at low and high, up to my limit of 90 mph. Bike rides fine stock but I have upgraded my seat, added ... a windshield, upgraded my exhaust to an open 2 to 2 style, opened up the air intake, switched the carburetor jet and added some chrome pieces.
Would highly recommend this bike as a step up from a 250, with a price of about 7k.

A great bike for the intermediate rider
By (I am an Owner) on Nov 13, 2008This is a great bike for an intermediate rider. Maintenance on this bike is easy, and it is a great learning machine for maintenance, and riding. It also allows you to install many bolt on accessories right from home. It is a great platform that will allow you to move up into a bigger class of motorcycle ... if you decide that motorcycling is something you really like.

great bike.
By (I am an Owner) on Oct 01, 2008I use this bike to commute to work. I have no trouble negotiating rural highways, Interstate, or in-town. A great bike for the money.

Recent Trip
By (I am an Owner) on Sep 21, 2008I just completed a 1500 KM trip around the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia Canada.My trip buddy was driving a Harley Classic.We were on hills that went up to 1700 feet & I had no trouble leading the way. Power on the hills was excellent & breaking coming down was good with some down shifting.Ride quality ... was good except for some right hand stiffness on the throttle but what the hay I am 65 years young.One day we spent 12 hours on the road & I was not overly tired at the end of the day. The only complaints are throttle hand stiffness & some handle bar viberation at & above 100 KM/HR.Also it sure would be nice to have a first & fifth gear indicator.
