Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a torquey V4 and shaft-driven power delivery.
PurposeIt was built as a sporty naked roadster of its era, blending V4 performance with a comfortable upright riding stance.
Rider FitA moderately heavy shaft-drive machine that demands reasonable strength at low speed and in tight maneuvers.
CharacterThe liquid-cooled DOHC V4 gives a smooth, characterful exhaust note and strong midrange pull typical of 1980s Honda sport-standards.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suited for off-road use or riders seeking a modern lightweight, nimble commuter.
