Thanks for the post.

The phrase, "preaching to the choir" comes to mind, with them (and us) being riders, we prefer the motorcycle feel. Kudos to Honda and BMW for trying to hit outside the box from 2 different angles. One with the motorcycle style and feel but in a simplified way. The other going a step further with a seating position that feel even more car-like.

So for the commuters out there who think spending more to save is silly (hybrids - still get stuck in CA traffic too), only need to transport 1 (most of the time), and are leaning on the fence on a motorcycle but a bit intimidated... here are 2 more options.

thats all well and good, but being a DCT owner now (vfr), I am sold on the NC. clearly, they haven't tried to ride through the city in stop and go. not that its impossible, but it is way more convenient.

"scooter, bi-curious moto, and real moto" :laughing

i love how the scooter is the heaviest and most powerful of the bunch.

Every Versys I have seen has a topcase on it, negating the only thing that the other two had on it.
