no wonder you dont see many honda big bikes on the road. With prices like these there are many other options out there. Honda really does sell the most expensive bikes in the classes.
You kidding?
I think that is a good price for its class.
Abs as optional when other brand already make it as standard. Lol
Nothing new here except with ABS and more expensive price tag.
do it on cb650, not this 500 (toot-toot-toot)….
Man….that ABS option is pricey.
Honda prices its 500 where other manufacturers priced their 650. Greedy
If in Thailand, I would go for a Honda, given the proliferation of Bigwing dealers/service/parts. Here in Malaysia? I think Kawasaki does better.
buying an expensive sports bike is like riding an expensive bicycle. it’s all in the pleasure of riding it and the wow comments that people give you.
it’s priceless.
I’ll take the leoncino anytime…
With our horrible weather, dangerous roads, reckless motorists, low speed limits….why would anyone want to ride an expensive bike?
