Blessed is the slim form of this bike, which comes from a relatively small tank and of course the transverse standing two-cylinder V-engine. Despite two cylinders the engine runs with low vibrations almost like a four-cylinder. The performances - yet the German version find applause, but not the fuel consumption. It seems as if Honda almost only builds relatively easy to handle motorcycles with good ergonomics and despite its practicality sporting virtues will not be missed. Sometimes the processing quality is somewhat criticized, pity for the otherwise good price performance.
