But it was a really, really nice motorcycle, particularly for a big guy.
Those forks worked really well.
A Honda tech told me that the problem when bikes get to a certain mass and rake is that the friction of the telescopic forks plunging up and down starts to impede the efficiency of the suspension, and these trailing bottom-link forks worked really well.
It was also, by some margin, the best-sounding stock motorcycle I ever rode.
It was a brilliant, rich, deep Ferrari-type sound. Just fabulous.
I really enjoyed this bike. It's a shame that the styling of a very capable machine alienated so many potential buyers. I loved it.
