No thanks to the styling......And I see no advantage to a single on a street bike.......Sorry but twins are always better.

Honda lost it's way after the 90's.........In both cars and bikes

How do you figure? More twitchy in handling than a big bike?

I usually equate likeliness of getting bit with throttle finesse necessary to keep the shiny side up, which gives the bigger bikes a higher degree of difficulty.

I used to race pocketbikes. Fast ones. Real ones...from Italy.

I used to crack up when even experienced racers of bigger bikes would get their fucking clocks cleaned. Trip can probably chime in here, because he races fiddys.

It's kinda like what you get when you balance a broom on your hand...you can do that, right? Now try a pencil. No go. Too fast to follow.

Shorter level moves away from center of balance far too fast.

Same with smaller bikes. Far faster reacting.

Same lever, only inverted. Shorter lever, faster reaction.

Cute little bikes but just doesn't do much for me. I can see new female riders being attracted to these.

Now the 400's as mentioned...humm...yep I could see me interested in that.

As far as the comment about anything more than 500 hp in a rear wheel drive car(?)...sure...as long as that is at the wheels.

That's where I'm at with my car and I'm fine with it. I'm not in to revving it up and dumping the clutch from the light anyways.
