Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community Oct 18, 2006
Pros: Outstanding power, comfort, one of the best for the street.
Cons: Somewhat unstable when pushed hard, buzzy handlebars.
Summary: I've had four bikes since 1990. My first was a Suzuki Katana, which I settled for because I couldn't find a CBR 600 F2. My next bike was a Honda Magna, I thought I'd outgrown the sportbike stage and decided to get a "power cruiser". I really liked the ... read more

Pros: Rock solid handling, powerful torquey engine, amazingly bright headlight, superlight weight, pure fun! low maintenance.
Cons: Lots of speeding tickets. Mirrors and signal lights are a bit clumsy looking design wise.
Summary: The Honda 919 (aka. the Hornet in Europe) has a fuel injected version of Honda's CBR900RR engine, it has a super light square tube steel backbone frame, no flashy fairings, and weighs a meer 427 pounds dry making it the lightest bike in it's class. It ... read more

Pros: Ergonomics, Power Band, Handling, Back Seat, Fuel Injection
Cons: Twitchy at low rpms.
Summary: When I was looking for a new bike to replace my Shadow I knew I wanted a naked bike. The ergonomics are excellent. The slightly bent over position is a great compromise between the cruiser's straight-up-into-the-wind stance and the track bike's ... read more

Pros: Smooth, predictable speed
Stealthy appearance (except the Atomic Phlegm models!)
Honda quality/reliability
Cons: Throttle 'jerky' at low speeds (see body)
Exhaust stink when you stop
Summary: If you're looking for a solid performing 'naked' sports bike, look no further than the Honda 919. Mine is an '02, but there were little, if any, changes between '02 and '03. The '04s added adjustable suspension, but that's the most significant change ... read more

Pros: Nimble, maintenance free, fun, hangs with ZX-10's at the Dragon...
Cons: Hmmmmm...nada.
Summary: All it has is a key. No petcock to turn off, you don't need the 'choke' although there is one for sub-zero starts, no carbs or jets, fuel injection compensates for altitude, octane, temperature and humidity, I have 10,000 miles of drag racing from stop

Pros: FAST, Smooth, quiet, comfortable and good looking:like a good man: gorgeous body, powerful and FUN!
Cons: w/o the windscreen..rain, bugs, and windblast..is that a 'con'?
Summary: I bought the 2003 w/1000 miles on it. First time I started it the four cylinders screamed!!! I was use to an Intruder 800 (twin V). It was music to my ears! My first ride was about 150 miles and total JOY for the whole trip. The 5 gallon tank will

Pros: Exceptionally quick off the line, purrs like a kitten but roars like a lion.
Cons: Transmission is tight, a bit clunky and misses the occasional downshift.
Summary: Quick, responsive street fighter with outstanding power and acceleration. Handles well on the interstate, but expect lots of wind buffeting even if you install the optional bug screen. Probably not the best bike for long cruising, but a definite blast a
