Being offered for sale is one of the most underrated Honda's ever built. This is one of the most technologically advanced bikes they have ever produced with dual clutch transmission, ABS brakes, fuel injection, liquid cooling, ultra-modern low slung parallel twin DOHC motor with low center of gravity and wrapped up in a chassis with very modern suspension and brakes and costing less than $8k brand new. This was almost a hark back to the days of old by Honda where you could buy affordable, reliable, Japanese sporty cruisers for less than $10,000 that would last a century, never require anything more than standard maintenance, and would be easy to ride, fun to drive, and a pleasure to live with. This is the kind of bike that epitomized the saying "You meet the nicest people on a Honda". This is a great beginner to intermediate sized bike with so many features you will never find from another brand in this diminutive size or price range. The center of gravity is so low with this bike that it feels even smaller than its Rebel 500 and CB 500 stablemates when sitting astride. It has a full DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT FOR SHORT) that works amazingly well with its 2 preprogrammed shift patterns - one for sporty driving and one for standard driving and better gas mileage. Finding neutral is as simple as hitting a button, and it even has a parking brake for those steeper parking situations. This bike is in excellent shape and aside from a few cosmetic blemishes associated with normal use over the past 8 years it is in excellent shape. It recently had new tires installed and fluids changed by the previous owner and needs nothing for the upcoming riding season or even the remainder of this season which the best weather is just around the corner. Don't miss out on the beautiful fall rides with foliage at its peak this coming month!
