I dunno, it's just got the engine out of a Honda Jazz, it's heavy and doesn't look like it handles very well. I Suppose it does have good fuel economy going for it.

With the fuel tank below the back seat it's got a lower centre of gravity and it actually handles quite decently. What's your source of info?

Go ride one.


You'll be very surprised. As I was.

Sure, I will. Honda are good at making suprising engineering like this.

It's certainly not an exciting bike - but as a commuter which can also handle freeway speeds with ease it's great.
 
Bike in for annual service ... didnt quite make 10000km between services, but my rear tyre is finished. Rather disappointed on the km I got out of it. I specifically put a Heidenhau K60 Scout on because guys claim to get over 10000km on them ... I managed a paltry 6000km. Decided to try the Conti TKC70 on the rear and keep my Heidenhau front for now (its still good). R2480 for a rear ... ouch! Big Beemers dont play cheap :(

The tires aren't really any different between the bigger bikes, excluding cruisers with their wide asses.

They are just all damn expensive now.

A new rear for my bike is still sub R2k (and it gets 15,000km easy), the issue with the LC is that it is a different size that was not very common iirc.

Yip, still cannot believe that Mitas has not come to the LC party with their e07 tires... Managed to get 15000km on a set on the old 1200 GS.

You all need some road tyres then.

I'm on 11000km now and my Michelin Pilot Road 4's look brand new.
