Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.
In Switzerland, you can have a licence plate for your motorcycle only with proof of insurance. (Licence plate delivered only with proof from your insurance company) So they came up with a great arrangement: as you can only ride one bike at the time, you can have two motorcycle and the bigger one covers the smaller one. I lived in Geneva for a few years so I had a 250cc scooter and the GW1500. Just one licence plate with a clip-on system... So when just riding to work, cliped the plate to the scooter, and when going for nice long rides, on to the GW. Saving some money too.
Car enthusiast could do the same (max two cars).
At least they get ABS..
$23,990 Euros .
If you apply today's exchange rate (7-4-13) the cost in USA Dollars = $30,900

If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it.
The base price only gets you started in some of Europe. There is often huge luxury or use taxes added to the cost of the bike, which translates often to transportation costing 2X what we pay in the US!
We are very spoiled here.
But they get ALLOT more paid vacation
At least the electronics on the Honda will work not like any of the French made vehicles I've had experiences with in the past!

We pay all 2X than you here in France... : cars, taxe, VAT, housing, food, services, etc...The base price only gets you started in some of Europe. There is often huge luxury or use taxes added to the cost of the bike, which translates often to transportation costing 2X what we pay in the US!

And for the guys living Paris or near Paris like me, housing is 10X ! More than 10.000 EUR this year for 1 m2 ( = 11 square feet) !
But I don't pay the school for my daughter and most health services are paid by my insurance....
Witch Renault did you own ?At least the electronics on the Honda will work not like any of the French made vehicles I've had experiences with in the past!
I never owned any french car... Only Honda and Wolkswagen
And one day I will sell car+bike to by a Mustang Shelby GT500.
Nope its the European RDS system it allows auto tuning to a selected station on different frequencies spaced across an area as one signal becomes weak it auto tunes the same broadcaster on a different stronger frequency
You search via station type using the PTY button such as ROCK/POP/CLASSICAL/NEWS/TRAFFIC type of thing
The U is what we call FM and the M is medium wave or what we would call AM older radios used to have L for Long Wave but thats not really used since FM
