That Honda's nice,.. but you have a Duc and a Guzzi...
I don't think I'd give either one up for a Honda...
OK Serow, here are a couple of pics.
These photos were taken for a "game" we play on the Region 4 sub forum for Sport Touring.net forums. It's called " Michigan photo tag", somebody posts a pic of a historical, interesting, or micro brewery, restaurant, etc. with their bike in the photo. Next player has 24 hours to post his bike in that scene then ride on to another site to post the new "tag". Hints are given when needed but good "Google-fu" will get you there
Lots of fun and gives some interesting rides and places to go.

It has a traditionally high seat. So I cannot flat foot it ( Tilt and tiptoe). That with the in--line 4 ( which I love) makes it a bit top heavy and high for me. IF they could lower it... I would probably trying to do something to get one.
Carbs??? pretty sure only the looks are old school.. its EFI.
Hi Pine,
the seat height is 31.3" for the 2013, that is about .5" lower than the Ducati and .6" lower than the Guzzi. I have to do the Tilt and flat foot one foot on those. I just got back from the Honda dealer and I was surprised how narrow the bike felt and how small the tank is and how I could almost flat foot both feet. The bike felt very narrow for a inline 4. My inseam is 31". And yes, it is EFI.
I don't know about actually getting one, maybe I'll check into selling the Ryca when it is done to go towards the Honda?
