Frameable, by the way.

Only 2 ****toons?


It's a real motorcycle, not a Honda Civic with two wheels. :-)




Right...it's a real motorcycle engine that you have to keep repairing to
keep running, and therefore NOT a honda motorcycle engine.



Hey, if you like six cylinder motorcycle engines with pistons the size
of thimbles, go for it.

My comment was just a friendly Harley jab at Jim. He knows that. I
used to comment on his two wheeled Civic when we rode together ... him
on the Goldwing and me on a potato-potato Harley. In seriousness, the
Goldwing is a very nice, refined bike but like any motorcycle or
vehicle, they have their share of problems:

I had two small two cylinder aircooled Honda motorcycles in the 1960s, a
"dream" and a "superhawk." They were well-used when I bought them, and I
ran the **** out of them. Neither of them gave me any problems. Dunno
why, but I never developed a taste for big, heavy motorcycle.s


As previously mentioned I also had a Honda 305 Superhawk and also a
Honda 350. Nice bikes for local transportation but when it comes time
for traveling for hours on long distance trips you appreciate the big,
heavy bikes. The little ones will shake you to death in short order at
65-70 mph on the highways.
