Not at all, it’s a Beemer, it only misses #3 and #6.
A 700lb in-line six, remarkable. Biggest problem at first is gonna be parking lot tip overs. That and the fact that that row of six quiet little 270cc hamsters are prob’ly gonna be dull as a post unless wound out.
Yep. There he is. My name was invoked. Anyways if you’re going where it’s cold, crank up the heated handgrips. You can ride in boxer shorts in freezing weather while holding on to heated handgrips and not get cold. Try it.

You can’t help yourself can you? Yes. Anyhoo it turns out the pearl-white ‘82 Honda CBX 1,000, an air-cooled in-line six and one of the prettiest bikes ever made weighed less than 600, so 700 ain’t all that great. Till you get used to it the biggest problem you’re likely to have is dropping that thing at a stoplight or in a parking lot.

Very useful.

That thing got reverse?  LMAO. It should. But it doesn't. I haven't looked recently, but when I was riding, only the big Honda Gold Wing had (and required) a reverse gear. OTOH, my BMW R100RT had heated air available to heat my hands. Norm

Heated air? That’s a new one on me, could you put it on the centerstand, Fire it up, and use it as a hair dryer?

Brother forgot this. Going to take it back. I'm reminded of Drago. "If he dies. He dies." ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/nlksgFf.jpg) Don't come up to this area on the way back - just north of here yesterday, the area got 5" of freakin' snow... It's currently 35F here - and raining...

Enjoy the ride, bro.
My '81 Honda 900F Super Sport did not leave a lot to be desired, as far as sport road bikes are concerned.
Used to like the KZ1000s quite a lot, too. The Z1Rs like my brother had were nice, but just a little too fast for this white boy.
One thing I learned at a fairly young age, there are some bikes and cars you just do not let your ego put you on or in.

I rented a Harley once or so I thought. Showed up and all they had were BMWs available. I was impressed.

Enjoy the trip. Where you takin it ?
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
