I have been looking at these naked hondas and find that they seem to get good reviews albeit a lot over priced. What is your opinion?

My opinion doesn't mean much lolol as I am just learning , but I did by the bike based on the advice of another rider who told me that since this is my first bike I would not know what I like to ride sooo I should pick something that I liked the looks of and was a good size for me . I picked it cause I thought it looked different and cool as for spec's on the bike well that is why I am here ....looking to learn a but from other other owners . Beinga first time rider and my first bike it is awsome to me ! I am just happy to be on a bike

Looks like you are a loner here lol Though on another forum there are a couple guys with 599s.

DH and I are in JPN now, but when we get back to the States, we're both looking at the 599, at least have one in the family. I'm currently on a VTR250, which is very similar to the Hornet 250, which is the 599/919s sister.

Honda naked bikes are pretty fun and I think overlooked as a good ride. Everyone has their preference I guess.

Hey, there are not a lot of us on this side of the pond, they are really thick on the other side. Saw 'em in the UK and when I made my return to asphalt it's what I chose. Great bike, handles great, fun to ride, and gets 55 mpg on the commute! I know the price is high but I rode an SV650 and I found the motor and riding position to suit me a lot better on the Honda, (and my buddy gave me a smokin deal

)

Well I ride your bikes cousin, the 919. Great bike I figure its pretty close to a 599

Well, I don't quite have a 599 yet, but i'm looking for one. Currently riding an 07 zzr600 (00-02 zx6r) great bike, but I wanna make it track only and pick up a 599 for everyday use. I have an 04 599 in my sights, but if it doesn't work out i might have to wait a couple months untill my ZZR is paid off, and i guess i could go for an 06.(I like the gauges more =P)

Just Curious on how do you guys fair when it comes to the wind? I have a 10 mile commute to work @ 65-75 mph and was wondering just how nasty or nice the wind is to ya at about that speed range.

Thanks

Bredebee, it's cause you look so good on yours and no one else even has a chance of coming close so they all stay away.
