Nice. I'm a chrome lover. I live in Australia. I've got a bike in the shed lathered in chrome. It hasn't had the luxury of living in a dry environment, despite what you might think. It's lived for most of its 9 years in the sub tropics, by the sea, which is a recipe for rust. Now it's living in a dry summer/ humid winter environment. The previous owner ingeniously winterised the bike simply with WD 40. Yes, it's a PITA to clean down when the weather warms up, but there is not a spec of rust or deterioration of any sort on the bike. The chrome looks like it came out of the factory yesterday.

Good to know David, thanks for the comments 😁

Gorgeous. And a bargain. These are rare as hen's teeth in NZ. Not too much chrome at all. It's a classic. And it has the Arrows as well. Plus luggage. The screen is fine if you actually want to ride somewhere further than around the block. Lucky devil.

I think, particularly for the money paid, that is a well built and reliable bike . Its a proper bike. Well done. As, you said, maybe I am nitpicking here though, the amount of chrome parts is the main downside. A cracking bike though.

It's somewhat subjective I guess, and if you have a decent garage to keep it from pitting! thanks for the comments 😁

Had the 2018 Triumph speedmaster with loads and loads of chrome, it´s a full time job to keep the pitting and rust from them, even when just using as a summer bike. These most definitely are not bikes you just ride and put away, you have to be meticulous (and I was) with the constant cleaning and oiling, and they don´t agree with standing outside even when under cover.. I spent more time cleaning that bike than riding it, at least this Honda has alloy wheels instead of chrome spoked wheels .. but never again will I have a bike with any chrome.

@@34979Charlie Totally agree, Chrome on a new (retro) bike can be a nightmare, and almost tries too hard to look like a classic, not something I would have chosen new from a showroom, but at this price I couldn't resist 😁

Yep. Nice bike at good price. I think one of the criticisms of this year was a small fuel tank? Made it larger shortly afterwards. I used to have a 2016 model in yellow - my favourite colour. Not popular at the time but I reckon they are going to be very popular soon.Prefer the original twin exhausts for that "classic" look myself. Good buy! 👍

Tell me about it 😃

Title change needed, not 1300 That is a brilliant price for a wonderful bike (you have the price in the title even though you said you wouldn't say 😃) . It went six speed in 2014 but the 5-speed owners don't have an issue. Yes, dump the screen.😃. 1140cc, utterly reliable, smooth. Honda's Bonneville and as such not especially practical but a wonder nonetheless.😃 Have the 2017.

Did you do a HPI check before purchasing? It may be cheap for a reason.

@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes

Yes I ALWAYS do a full HPi check on anything I buy, and it came back clean on this bike, but thanks for the advice 😀

It looks like a result of a honda cbx that got dateraped by a 1978 honda cb750 sport.
