Anyone recall the wild looking Honda bike, which I don't think they make anymore (could not find it on their web site)? Hard to describe but I know it was pricey...saw it at a motorcycle show at a museum in Orlando last year. It was long & low, etc. and it used to be in the old Honda commercial where they show a lot of the products they make.

That's the bike...man, a bit pricey (for a Honda). Do they still make them?

I rode one that was sold from the dealership where I worked. Unbelievably silky smooth and very comfortable. Buttery buckets of torque and lots of bling.

Kind of had to plan your turns with that truck like wheelbase however.......

Nope... Some collectors I know have been quietly acquiring mint examples and hiding them away while prices are depressed in this economy...

Back in February a local dealer had a brand new one for sale. If I recall correctly it was an '04 model.

Do you have the name of the dealer?

Or if anyone else has a lead on one let me know.
