I take it my Granite Gray just did not do it for you? lol
It just came down to cost and convenience, really.
I paid $3750 Beaver Money for this one
After what felt like a year since my 919 was tapped into oblivion at 5 mph, I have another bike! This is number 11 and its name is Rhubarb
This is a beauty; bone stock and complete with all the dealer tags, service records, manual, tools and even a 'valet key' which I have never seen with a bike before!
I will do a ride report soon enough but today I am off to do birthday things!

I'm happy that this one worked out for you Dustin!
And I hope you had a great birthday
Quick initial review:
- Fantastic motor. Smooth, responsive, pulls at all revs and it sounds incredible. FI typical Honda smooth although this motor doesn't like being below 3500 rpm.
- Gearbox is excellent! Quick, crisp shifts which are effortless. Gearing is nice. 6th gear @ 60 mph is around 4500 rpm, I think
- Great ergos (so far). The rider triangle is excellent for my frame.
- The bike hides its 540 lbs wet very well. Easy to handle in the city.
- Best headlights ever
- Great instrumentation. Two trip meters, clock, ambient air temperature and a digital speedo with centre analog tach is great
- The linked brakes are noticeable but not at all intrusive. Very subtle and actually quite nice.
- Hydraulic clutch seems completely pointless. It's a bit heavy for my little hands.
The more time I spend riding the more I see it was the right choice :yes:
