    the bike you miss the most

    I always wanted to steal Fred Hayes, custom made, steamlined, 667 cc mechanically-injected, single cylinder, naturally-aspired diesel motorcycle. He built it to look much cooler and lower slung than the 250 steamliners, the latter constructed of milk carton material; his was some kind of metal...

    Tires

    As a not-so-veteran rider, I soon shopped for and learned about mc tires; I wanted tires that would outlast my Battlax's, because getting new tires is a hassle. I didn't know about the need for tires for lighter bikes to be stickier than for big, heavy tourers and cruisers until I started...

    Lower Leg and Foot Protection

    What the future CTX700 owners need is an accessory item(s) that will help protect the feet and lower legs for wet and cold weather riding. I'm still pretty much a newbie and this element of protection is already addressed with the bigger scooters, so I don't know if these type of accessories are...

    Are you an owner or fanatic?

    I'm a fanatic. I bought a brand new scooter one year ago looking for the perfect ride. Of course the perfect ride will never exist but the scooter seemed like the best choice at the time within my budget, even though what I really needed was something that I could put up to 100,000 miles on it...

    Man! This New CTX700 is sweet!

    I want the fairing model in red. Standard transmission and brakes. Not due to start shipping to dealers until July. Might get the tall windshield and luggage rack if priced reasonably, or if they give me some kind of deal in the package, but most likely, I'll buy the stripped version and get...

    Man! This New CTX700 is sweet!

    Is this actually a CTX700? or is it a CTX700N? I received word from a Chattanooga dealer that Honda recently sent out a bulletin on the CTX700 models and stated that CTX700Ns will start shipping end of May and 1st part of June, but that the CTX700s (the fairing models) will not ship until some...

    NC700X Test Ride

    To Harold... Thanks for sharing your experiences and insights. All good news. I'll definitely look into my options to make chain maintenance easy and quick as long as it's not too expensive and some cheap luggage options too. I especially like the idea of hooks. The CTX700 has passenger grab...

    Man! This New CTX700 is sweet!

    I don't think any CTXs have been delivered anywhere in the world at this point, but they've already shipped from Thailand. I've heard rumors that at least some of the configurations will start arriving June 1 or so at U.S. dealerships. I don't know about whether these models will be available...

    What motorcycle would you choose?

    I don't get all hung up in this beginner bike concept that is part of the motorcycle culture wherein folks have to progressively move up in size, displacement, and/or performance to stay satisfied with riding, so, although I don't totally disagree with the first reply, I would ask, are you...

    NC700X Test Ride

    Thanks for the info. That's pretty much the same review I got from someone on the NC700X forum in a PM. Maybe it's the same person, but it's starting to sound like it's not for me either. I went and sat on one. Didn't like the foot placement although some say it's great once you get used to it...

    pre ordered

    I've not had a dealer tell me specifically when the CTX700 will be available. That's what I'm waiting on too. I'm not sure if they'll have a later date or not; I hope not. I've had a dealer in Athens, TN tell me that Honda has notified them about an un-sold model that they've ordered; a CTX700ND...
