I feel like most of Honda's products are a bit over priced, but they do make some good bikes. They seem to run forever. I would love to see that non faired model here in the US. Looks very nice
Agreed; most Hondas seem to stack up a bit more expensive than comparable models from other brands. I think the Honda is a nicer looking and nicer featured package overall than the 6R, but the Honda is a brand new design. The 6R is getting a bit dated.
Yamaha really tends to hold on to models for a long run, so a refresh may not be in the cards for 2015. I think, however, that the updated 6R will have the refinements and features to make it stack up a bit better against that Honda, and can almost guarantee it will be less money. I really wish Yamaha would update their stock signals. That would go a long way to making all Yamaha bikes look more stylish right out of the box.
I really like that 650, especially in naked trim, but I just don't see the value in Hondas. Yamahas are built just as well, last just as long, and cost less.
