Definitely sweet!
I love all the new changes they made. Just wish i could afford a new one.
I agree it looks like Honda is the only one that missed the boat this year. They are always slow to change. I can afford it but I could never sell my old one. I have way too much money in it. Not only that, but all the time and sentimental value. Plus I would have to either kill my wife or keep it at the neighbors house.
that looks like a nice machine
