RE: H-O-N-D-A
(This is where I risk becoming unpopular)
I dunno - I really can't harp on my Honda (Sabre). It's big, powerful, quick on the draw if you care for that sort of thing. It completely annihilates my RK off the line *and* for passing - and (sorry, I have to admit it) it's probably the most maintenance-free machine of any kind that I've ever owned. I've yet to put a nickel into it for anything other than routine stuff (although I've put many, many, many nickels into upgrades).
That said - I'm much more "satisfied" with my Harley... More content on the highway, more fascinated with the culture and the people -- Much more of an experience than a "ride" on any given ride.
Gold Wings on the other hand... I just can't do 'em... I can appreciate them for what they are, but I just can't ride 'em. But I can't get myself to say too many negative things about Hondas...

I like my Ultra but if Honda ever decides to make a full blown tourer out of the 1800 VTX. I will be on it like "white on rice". (no pun intended).

Son and I tear up the ranch on our CRF's.
And my neighbors 4WD 4wheeler is a kickass fun and work machine.
they can keep the couches tho . . .
