Great review bro. 👍🏼👍🏼
Great haircut buddy! I think (yet again!) I fall into the minority of people that likes the look of this bike! Think it looks especially good in green 👍
Hcut really suits. 😀. Think its attractive except for the single speedo type. Its all on pricing I think. It seems most manufacturers developing smaller cc bikes. When I was young biggest bikes were 750cc with occasional 1000cc. I am back on a 650 and does everything I want. Bet this is nice for short blasts. I like thrashing my bike revving it out which I couldn’t do past 3rd gear on my last bike. Thrashing a smaller bikes gives me a more ethereal experience than being unable to cane a larger overpowered bike
I actually like the looks of this bike. I like the way that is got the Scrambler look, without trying to go to faux-retro. If I were in the market for an A2 licence compatible bike, this would be my first choice.
As far as the haircut is concerned… being over 60 with rapidly disappearing hair, I'm just jealous of anyone with a full head!
Looks good 👍 ya hair not the bike 😂, that would be good if it wasn't for that god awful exhaust! FFS , They just jacket up the Rebel and slapped different wheels and handles on it.
I'm really surprised about this bike. The engine and basic platform had so much potential both in capabilities and style. As with the new Transalp it's as if that and this bike were little more than last minute afterthoughts. That huge end can is the most glaring miss. It's supposed to be a modern retro yet looks neither modern or retro. In fact id go as far as to say it looks like it was designed by an accountant.
Some may actually like the look and style of this bike, but I'm old enough to remember when Honda put great effort into being at the leading edge of both engineering and style. This bike is far from either. In contrast just have a look at the Fantic caballero scrambler 500 or even better the rally version. A few hp down and only a single thumper, but at 50 kg lighter far better power to weight ratio. Also light years ahead on build quality and style.
Having said all this, I do suspect that this bike was designed and built primarily for an Asian market where style sensibilities & economics are very different to the UK and European markets?.
Glad you took off the sun glasses so we can see what you look like in your new hair cut. I miss the long hair but you look much better with short hair.
This is an interesting bike indeed. Waiting to put my hands on one. Great review by the way.
I’m getting the Honda crf 300 rally to go with my speedmaster I think I’ve covered most kinds of rides with these too great review 👍
only gone and passed my mod 2 today guys woohoo 🙂
