I have the 2021 black edition here in the uk. Firstly I m 60 and my previous bike was the Daytona 675. All the video s I ve seen do not do the bike justice, you have to see the black edition in the flesh to appreciate how good looking it is and the detail is superb. As someone said you could turn up to a party in a dinner suit on a Saturday night and no one would bat an eyelid lol😂 The riding position is so comfortable and it is soooo easy to ride. As said get above 5k and the bike takes off and 30 mph in first or sixth gear. The highlight apart from the engine and looks is the quick shifter/auto blipper. It s so smooth both ways. The bike is not perfect. The black paint on the tank is beautiful but does scratch easy and the suspension really does need setting up for the individual rider. The rear shock is definitely budget but is fine for 95% of use if your not a heavy person. Also the sat nav linked to your phone is ONLY voice with Apple …disappointment here. I also think the screen just follows the trend and the previous lcd looked nicer with the bike as well as the round led headlight as opposed to the teardrop. However these are minor points and personal preferences and no bike is perfect. I have put a tail tidy on the bike and LeoVince exhaust so you can now see the beautiful rear wheel and single sided swing arm. Anyone considering this bike and does not want a 180bhp mt10 Tuono and don’t want a Ducati price tag etc should definitely test ride it. I love it….but it’s design is not for everyone.

I wish they crossed this bike with the rebel 1100, and made a vtwin UJM, 4.5+ gallon tank, under 480lbs you could throw a screen and bags on and go touring.

I love the look of this bike with enough ponies to keep you entertained. I consider this bike to be the gentleman’s naked. The other naked motorcycles are getting crazy… although that isn’t a bad thing because I still drool over the sound of a Yamaha cross-plane. I just want that Honda fit and finish with their renown reliability. If Honda would build a liter VFR I would be at the dealer right now.

I like the jacket right at the beginning. Great bike.

The 2022 model comes with a passenger seat cowl - did you take it off for the shoot?

[dalesharpy]

Got a all happy here! That motor is sweet, good grunt down low and in a high gear no low speed stumbles, above 6K it comes alive! Brakes good! Nimble! Great looks. I have only added a Yoshimura Alpha slip-on.

This bike has such a nice refined look. I like it. Maybe the silver one would be perfect. Keep up man. You got my like here.

Cool bike and I may consider one after having troubles with my Tuono but I don’t think Honda quality is what it once was. I’ve seen a lot of videos and talked to a lot of owners of late model Honda motorcycles with quite a few issues as well.

I had a Hornet 919 for years, & loved it. I think this is gonna be my next Honda!!

Excellent review, I'm 53 and probably going to trade in my 16 monster 821 with 37, 000 miles on it . This bike seems to fit the bill for a rider of my age that wants more comfy ergonomics and also still have lots of power, I'll miss my Ducati but ugh the maintenance is just too much for me anymore..

[bibadjohn]

I thought it came with a rear cowl over the passenger seat??

[dano]

Better than the same year Yamaha mt09?

[billjones]

Sounds like crap and the seat looks to high like your going to fall off, gay all day
