Number 1, most important, is that I liked the way it looks and feels. Price was good, fuel economy excellent, and daily usability is better than anything else out there. I'm thrilled after 3 years and 33K miles because its a Honda, and nothing ever seems to break. I love my OEM bags BTW. the...

I did a 600 mile trip solo on the stock seat. Sore, but doable. Now with the Shad (crappy quality, but cheap) I can do unlimited solo riding. Two up? 100 mile limit I'd say. As others have said before, not really enough power for 2 up, plus bags. My girlfriend is 120 pounds and wants to get...

I went to 22k miles on my 2013 before checking. Exhaust were tight, but not dramatically. I will check them again at 40k.

I've got a set of JT sprockets waiting to go on, but at 30k miles, I keep comparing my OE sprockets to them, and don't see any wear. I'm on my 3rd chain BTW, averaging 12k miles on them.

At the Long Beach mcy show, they had a 2013 700X DCT on rollers RIGHT next to a 2016 700X DCT. From that I'm almost CERTAIN the Frunk will be 100% swap on parts. The exhaust I didn't check (I prefer aftermarket to the Sewing machine sound). The rear taillight is the part I want, but looks...

Puig clear, trimmed slightly with standoffs to fit my Barkbusters. Run 20k+ miles this way on stock wellnuts with zero issue.

2016 700x Anyone else check out the 2016's? Updated the plastics some. I REALLY like the new tail light setup. I wish there was a way to convert mine to that. Oh, AND they seemed to improve the seat a little. Yeah, its flatter by a LOT.

Factory Hardbags, Puig clear windsheld. Awesomeness.

25k miles on my 2013. 3 rear tires, 2 fronts, 1 chain, 5 oil changes, 1 set of front pads. Needs a second chain and bearings soon.

I had a bad chain early (11k miles), replaced it without doing the sprockets because they looked fine. My rear wheel bearings still feel great at 23k miles. Fronts are starting to feel a little loose though. Always torqued to spec with tire replacement.

Hi guys, 21k miles on my 700x. I've been through the metzlers, and one set of Scorpion Trails. I love the Scorpions, but was wondering if anyone else had ridden with both those and the PR4s? I bought a DRz400 for the dirt now, so my 5% dirt time is pretty much 0% now.

I only have a problem with the seat after an hour or more of riding. I do that quite a bit though, so it's rising on the list of priorities.

Posted this in the luggage thread too. This is off Hwy 1 in California between Santa Barbara and Ventura.

Here is mine with just the Honda top box. I started running with the side bags as well, because too many people called it a scooter.

Yosh's new system should work.
