$13K for an 800cc motorcyle/scooter/abomination. Typical Honda overpricing. This is what I’ve come to expect from the most boring and over rated car company that happens to sell motorcycles as a side line. Pathetic. Soichiro must be rolling in his grave at 12,000 rpm.
It’s 1300 cc, not 800. In terms of raw specs, it stands up well against Harleys of the same category. Boring also means predictable, which is not necessarily a bad thing in consumer products. I’ve always had a little trouble with multi-million dollar ad agencies, the ultimate suits, doing an ad campaign as rad, outlaw outsiders, but a lot of people eat it up.
