If it’s comfortable and roomy, I’ll buy one. If it’s got crappy “knees in your chest” ergos, I’ll keep looking. Wish Honda would put detailed info and a 360 on their website.
I have always liked the V-twins. It’s not a Harley–but it’s smoother,cheaper,and trouble free.
Close but no cigar… Honda seems not to realize that there is a market for a comfortable Standard 750 with decent range and no maintenance. A plush 2-up seat, a 4 gallon tank, and shaft drive would have made this bike much more desirable. For now, I’ll keep riding my CB750K.
