Pros: Lots of power, great looks
Cons: Gas cap rattle
Summary: When I first saw the 1600, I was a little intimidated by its size. But when I rode it, I was amazed at how easily it handled. It is a very well balanced bike and easily navigated a parking lot where I tried its turning abilities. The 1600 classic is ...

Pros: Size, handling/stability, styling, reliability
Cons: Still hard to get some aftermarket parts
Summary: Prior to this 1600, my ride was a Honda Shadow 750. A fine little ride in its own right, but a bit small and underpowered for any type of Interstate cruising. I have now had the 1600 for about 6 months, and am still grinning ear to ear. To date, I ...
