RE: First full test in print
Well I rode to Barnes & Noble to get a copy of Motorcycle Classics. To my dismay they had only the March/April issue. I went ahead and bought the mag and promptly mailed the subscription form. Smile
Looks like another ride to B&N is in order in a week or so. Big Grin

RE: First full test in print
With the exception of the seat, sounds like I would agree with the report. For a stock seat I found the firmness to be well chosen. It seems to be neither too hard nor too soft. In fact when I hit a bump I can feel the seat compress like a secondary spring which to me is a good sign that the seat will be comfortable for a reasonable length of time. I do wish, however, that the seat was a flat bench seat which would allow more forward and aft movement. Being 6'2" I found that at speeds above 60 mph I needed to slide back on the seat so that I was actually sitting on the ridge where the passenger seat begins. I understand that Honda must design seats so that riders with short legs can reach the ground. A stock seat is always a compromise. For now, I solved the problem by installing bars which are lower and have less pull back.
