Being a 500cc and getting near 50+ mpg, it has been viewed by many as the perfect motorcycle, whether you are beginning or are looking for a fun, sporty, commuting bike. It has enough power to put a continual smile on your face while not having the deadly "kill you" power potential (that is never really used legally on street roads anyway) of a 1000cc sport bike. My brother-in-law who is a Harley enthusiast told me truthfully that while Harleys are unique, you won't have the fun on a Harley that this bike gives you... It is light and zippy and at the same time being oh so smooth. It is fuel injected and starts every time. Research it like I have for reviews and comparisons of this motorcycle to say the Kawasaki Ninja 300 or 650... You'll find that dollar for dollar, this Honda comes out winning. As far as maintenance, there is little to say because she is essentially new. I have followed Honda's maintenance schedule and have done the first oil change with Honda oil and a Honda filter. The next oil change according to the manufacturer is at 8000 miles or 12 months. I also have full gear including an Icon leather jacket, leather gloves, and leather over pants which go over your jeans. These I would prefer not to sell but would be willing to negotiate it into a deal if you need them.
