Posted February 17, 200520 yr ....then you'll get screwed by the manufacturers. What am I talking about? Well I'm referring to manufacturer's pricing structures and dealer networks. Because Honda dealerships tend to be solus suppliers (no other brands), the pricing structures remain constant. You don't see rival dealers slashing huge amounts off machines, and you don't see Honda dramatically dropping prices on new models like Yamaha have just done with the FZ6, Kawasaki did with the Z750, and Suzuki did with the SV1000. A friend of mine paid £7K for a Burgman in August....they're now selling new for £5K. Your investment just won't hold any sort of value. But Honda move slow models by bundling additional extras with it, so there's no knock-on effect on resale values. So you're protected. So....the message is clear....you want a nice Gay Honda you do!
February 17, 200520 yr Moderator ....then you'll get screwed by the manufacturers. Maybe if you buy a brand new bike! So....the message is clear....you want a nice Gay Honda you do! Thanx, but NO Thanx!......was raised on 'em.....they had their chance. It's been YAMAHA for the last 20 years......NO reason to stop now!
February 17, 200520 yr I must admit that Hondas have got the best build quality BUT......................... As the advert from a few years ago said ''You meet the nicest people on a Honda''
February 18, 200520 yr Admin I must admit i really like the their new 600, and i hate to say it but looks better than the new r6 to me
February 18, 200520 yr Moderator Very True that their build quality has been top notch for quite few years ..BUT...... I just flat refuse to adhere to their Corporate Giant tactics! Even though I too, like the looks of the new CBR6 Still would rather own an R6 anyday!
February 18, 200520 yr Admin I must admit i had a couple of hondas and couldnt fault them at all. I had an 83` Z50R and a 92 (I think) CR250 and both were excellent
February 18, 200520 yr Moderator Can't help but to agree Alex.... I had an '81 CR80 (6-speed Rocket) & an '80 XR80 (Absolutely BulletProof as XR's usually are)
February 18, 200520 yr Author Doesn't HondaClub.com have a nice ring to it? Could the owners be as cretinous as some other brands?
February 18, 200520 yr I've had Hondas in the past. A CB400/4 and a CB750F1. The 400/4 was a stonking little bike. Wish I'd kept it. It was the first bike that I ever cracked the ton on!

If the "O" is missing, wouldn't it then say H NDA? You need to sell that Queer bike before it wastes your brain away any further!
