i don't wanna be a party pooper but if we are trying to make time, wouldn't we be best to go the route we know will get us there on time? Don ,its early, you'd better not be late to the BP!
i personally feel they have been "playing it safe" for a quite awhile now, and going on the rock solid reliability as a method of selling cars and motorcycles
very nice bike hoblick, and I am sure the wife will enjoy the comforts of it also. I know if we ever starting doing alot of two up touring, thats the route I would go.
96-97 had a square taillight. you have to swap out the taillight, the tail and your seat to convert it to 97 98. This place makes a good product, and offers them in race and street. http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/hondaz/CBR600F31997-98.htm
