I will let AJ tell you my opinion about honda in 1995, but now I of course really enjoy the fact that Hondas don't have any competition when it comes to building motorcycles, they really are bullit proof.

I dropped having road bikes simply because I couldn't stop looking at curbs as berms and RR crossings as tabletops. To many run in's with the law so it was decided to stop the road bike stuff. Some day i may return, hmmmmm look at that corner wonder if i could straighten it out with a little wheelie here and hit the brake.........na it will be awhile.
