Easiest way to slow down a Honda is a 3' thick concrete wall.
Personally, I've never met a Honda I did like.
Bought a CB750F2 back in the early 80's and Px-ed it on a Z1300 after just 2 months.
Honda excel at making BLAND bikes.
They may be fast but and extremely capable, but....... ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Each to their own I guess, but I would choose almost any other brand before I bought a Honda.
