Looks like the batmobile bike, slick! I am an old chopper fan myself, but that is sure purdy.

It does look like a batmobile bike! Seems like everyone in the country has a bike, even the kids (dirtbikes). My 13yr old son says all his friends have a dirtbike or 4wheeler except him. It's a SAD story, so I'm trying really hard to save up for a dirtbike.

Uh......Nope.
Cafe racers types have never impressed me. I'll stick with the old "cruiser" style.

nope, don't like it. But just a note: This is Honda's first automatic street bike.

Not typically my type of bike, but I think it's gorgeous! If I didn't live on a dirt road, I'd think about getting another bike. I used to have a little Yammy Virago 535....it was so cute! Sold it because I didn't have anybody to ride with. Now I'd be using for daily transportation!

Long distance.
Long distance bike? I think not. I enjoyed my Goldwing with its nice cushy air suspension ride for long hauls. http://www.chromeworld.com/
The crotch rocket looks great but I've heard many complaints from those attempting to ride them more than a few miles, i.e. 50 plus or more. Also difficult to ride with other riders as grains of sand kick up off of the roadway from the bikes ahead of you and without a decent windshield will pepper you until you say uncle.
Just my opinion--they look great but aren't practical for my kind of riding.

It is pretty, but I prefer cruisers. I love my Honda VTX!

Sorry, crotch-rockets never held the allure for me that they appear to for others.
I'm a Harley kinda gal

In our house - bikes are out and trikes are in - have a VW trike that we ride everywhere. Safe and very comfy!

Got a pic. Haven't seen 1 in years around here. My dad's friend had one that looked like the Adams Family car.
Only trikes around here is the Goldwing conversions.

My son has that bike in bright blue.
Don't like the idea of him on any bike.
Especially NOT a crotch rocket!
I can't believe he got one after he helped peel a guy off of a pickup truck that he broadsided with one of those.
But I know you love it so congratulations on your new bike!
