This is a Touring Bike, if I had to be on the Interstate for hours .... I personally would not want a Engine Drone impeding my stereo system and driving me crazy.
There are complaints about the Fit and Finish....... I am keeping what I have for a while.
This Engine Drone will not be a easy fix, nope ....... Torq Loops won't help that.

I have not personally test rode one of these, I will WAIT for at least 1 or 2 years. This is a whole NEW Aluminum Engine and I am not ready to plop down money on a unproven engine.
Agree 100%...I am beginning to question, at times lately, if whether or not Honda is having some quality issues...I do remember that they had a lot of engines blowing up in Indy cars for a while but seemed to have corrected it with later versions??....I have ridden Honda bikes for years with less issues, although, than other brands...I guess we "just wait and see"....Regards
