    Oh, that caught my eye. As does the power to weight ratio, the really low CG, and it looks really cool. Maybe a used one in a few years, I am too lower middle class, and I just don't want to make payments on vehicles anymore.

    I really like the Pacific Coast... was looking for one this summer.

    Considered an ST-1100, but it felt piggy to me on hairpin turns. The '99 Connie was an excellent decision. 3200 miles ridden already. :shock:

    This new bike is different, but they need to make something similar; simpler and cheaper.

    Let's fight about it. :rofl:

    One of my coworkers can relate. He rides a '77 FX and is into medieval reenactments - stickfights and whatnot.

    The Pacific Coast...is another motorcycle concept with which Honda absolutely dropped the damned ball. Everyone I know who owns one won't part with the machine.

    The ST 1100 is OK, but it's kinda boring... and the Pacific Coast is similar.

    So "discovering" the Concours is fantastic, I never really considered the model. She Bop!

    But the Pacific Coast seems better for in town, I still want one. It just screams for customization. :rofl:

    Oh shit. The *only* thing that abomination called an Amazonas has going for itself is ease of repair. If you can fix a Volkswagen, you can fix that bike. I heard nasty rumours that the bike even had reverse!
    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.
