You're forgetting that many, many, choppers were made in the 70's with Honda 750 four cylinder motors in them. A LOT.

LMAO!!

So a 1300 cc motor is too small for a chopper???? Read my post above.

You do know that the largest motor on any production motorcycle up until late 1979 was a 1200cc (74 cubic inch) motor, don't you? Thousands, upon thousands of choppers have been made with that and smaller motors.

Honda 750 inline fours
Triumph and BSA 650 side by side twins

Name it. Choppers aren't about what motor is in it.

It's the bad boy of the Honda Goldwing. Looks ok but I would never buy one. I do own a Honda vehicle but I trust HD when it comes to building a quality bike!

For 13k, I like it. It looks good and clean. Not my style though. My only complaint would be the 200mm rear tire. 200's are the standard on cruisers and 240's are tomorrows standard for cruisers. IMO, it needs at least a 240mm.

It's a good looking bike. Probably very reliable and low maintenance. What's there to not like about it?

Not a bike that I would buy. If I was going to buy a Honda I would get a VTX1800. But I really like my Lowrider so I don't think I'll be throwing a leg over a Honda anytime soon.
