I had a 1984 Honda V65 Sabre. It had a few issues, like cam lobe wear and heat buildup that caused fumes on hot days. But it was smooth, comfortable, and incredibly fast. Mr. Honda was still alive back then and Honda was a completely different company. Motorcycles were his passion, and he made sure his company took a back seat to nobody. Honda dominated the industry.

As good as my F6B and the new Wings are, they don't push the envelope at all. Ducatis and the new Rocket 3 are much more exciting than anything Honda offers. So when Harley brings out a 1250 cc adventure bike with lots more power with our 1800s I can't help but wonder 'what happened to Honda'?
