“A very flexible user friendly bike. Great for town and Sunday runs. Its best attribute is long haul touring. I used it for a France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland tour and it was very comfortable, more than powerful and very comfortable to ride for long hours. Would recommend this bike as a very good comfortable touring bike.”
“Good bike well loaded with TCS, ABS, Crash bars, wind defectors heated grips and luggage. Checking the tyres to the new Dunlop's has transformed the handling capabilities to a much more agile machine. Good strong engine and breaking my only grumbles are the shaft clunk at slow speed and bumpy minor roads and numb bum on long journeys, I have invested in a tour tech seat but little difference.”
“Troubled with a re call for the drive shaft still on going
The heated grips don't work well at motorway speeds
The fuel gauge is not accurate it takes ages to go down and then goes all at once and the "miles left" is not accurate, giving no confidence in it.
The speedo is about 8% slow in comparison to a tom tom gps which is frustrating Honda say it's within the 10% tolerance so it's ok!
I had my new bike exchanged by Honda as there was a bit of rattle on start up. An issue I have heard others mention since. Problem is the exchanged bike still does it until warmed up.
That said though, All in all though it's been an easy comfortable bike to own and ride and does everything I need. The style gives a good road presence, it's quick especially on the country roads and comfortable on motorways now I have a throttle lock fitted.
Heated seat and cruise control would have been nice something that's standard on Triumphs!
Happy riding!”
