          No mistaking that one when it comes down the street. Very distinctive.

              I saw one of those Thursday, I was driving down I75 in northern KY, it wasn't as nice as the photo you've posted, but it was pretty cool. Have a nice day and ride safe

                  Honda CBX- I knew a guy that had one and I believe still owns it.Not as heavy as you think.I would rather ride that than a Gold Wing.I don't know why that concept of bikes never really took off?

                      Nice specs,

                      Appears that the XS has just a tad more on the performance end. 5 less HP but 50 pounds lighter, bit more top end but a smaller tank.

                          More XS specs...



                          Every spec sheet I look at seems to be slightly different then the other?
