Thanks! Yes, this version made only two years and it’s such a weirdo. From the exhaust, taillights, and side panels it’s like a cruiser with heavy 80’s sport bike influence. I especially like the motor, though, and the history of how and why Honda made these bikes with these smaller motors.
Compared to the V-twin rivals, it’s actually pretty fast considering it’s age and low-tech’ness.
The paint on the bike is multiple coats of whatever flat paint and primer I had in the shop, sanded, sprayed, sanded and sprayed with gas spilled over it from filling up. Add overspray from painting stuff without removing it.
