What got me looking was the cb300 for $75 a mo. Msrp around 3900. Wow, All good except it got hit with an ugly stick. Went to Honda Web site and looked at dual purpose.........they got hit a whole bunch of times with the ugly stick. They looked like 9 year old Mikey showed the designers his toys. If I were to buy a brand new bike I damn sure want to see all of the engine not ugly plastic.
If I was a bit younger I would have ripped off the plastic on my klx and either made a new gas tank or adapted one with some decent curves. I don't know what has got into the designers with all the pointy plastic crap. Any way that cb sure is a deal for $75 a mo.even if it's ugly. I think Honda is trying to counter Chinese prices.

You're right that might be worth considering. Enough power and close enough to the ground for my short legs.

I agree with you jc,,I'm not a huge fan of the way styling is going either,,,most times in the effort to keep with the sleek angular style tank volume suffers,,,that is why I fell in love with the genuine g400c,,,styled like a traditional motorcycle ,,,too bad genuine can't get their sh1t together on release dates,,,I finally gave up on it even tho the company and dealers were taking orders and deposits,,I haven't looked in a while but I'm sure there's still no carb cents and release date
