Fortunately, you pretty much just focused on the wheels in front of you and keep the curve.Kacey3https://www.blogger.com/profile/12712650467436476937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943715898894235198.post-8357803083397370792021-04-19T18:45:19.322-04:002021-04-19T18:45:19.322-04:00You look good.

The new CB350, despite all the click-bait internet hype, isn't coming here-perhaps ever. Comparing the Meteor to Pirsig's Honda, a Super Hawk, is comparing it to a bike that ceased production in 1967. Is the Meteor 50 years better?

As I recently read somewhere, Robert Pirsig drove across the US on a 305cc Honda Dream in his classic book. Sure, this bike isn't made for the highway, but it's possible when necessary. I think Royal Enfield are really on to Skogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03233562488929193394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943715898894235198.post-501075140628713752021-04-09T18:36:26.839-04:002021-04-09T18:36:26.839-04:00I had the Honda CB250 Nighthawk, the sit-up-tall v...I had the Honda CB250 Nighthawk, the sit-up-tall version of the Rebel; same motor as the Rebel. Exactly 20 hp! I did use it on the freeway, although I could not tell you how fast it went because much above 60 mph I found the Nighthawk's sewing-machine little twin a bit buzzy. It wasn't ideal, but it wasn't frightening either.David Blascohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506975186222681171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943715898894235198.post-62460199552118998652021-04-09T17:31:32.296-04:002021-04-09T17:31:32.296-04:00This is a nice-looking commuter bike that should e...This is a nice-looking commuter bike that should easily win over the "grocery-getter" crowd. It's modern, stylish, reliable, priced right and ergonomically set up for shorter riders. RENA 's marketing needs to aggressively move on this. For someone requiring more power on the same platform, drop in the 650cc twin and you have a "Super Meteor."......another legacy oldjohn1951https://www.blogger.com/profile/09134392648777808943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943715898894235198.post-46813862654350825922021-04-09T10:43:11.854-04:002021-04-09T10:43:11.854-04:00Whattaya think, twenty horsepower?

Will it frighten the rider even in the right-hand lane?Maynardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830982091384886121noreply@blogger.com
