If it didn't have such an uncomfortable lie-on-the-tank riding position, I'd probably have one. Not bad though, for a fat sprotsbike.

Welcome to the club. I have one and dont have the desire to upgrade anymore. It does everything and does it well. Some one said something about tight stuff and the XX. Its big but it sure tackles the tight twisties well. I managed to get mine with some aftamkt goodies on it, now that i have a working digi cam again will post some snaps to you.
Honda fits Philips bulbs standard. Unlike Suki with cheaper Osram units. The Philips +50 is a Xeon filled Halogen bulb. Has proven time and time again to be very good... try some yourself. And yes I have 2 x Hella fog lights waiting to be fitted for winding roads
And totally agree re double bubble
Nop haven't tried a 12R after reading reviews how it is not as complete a product as a XX. Haven't rode a Busa as well, althou they are faster and probly handle sharper, I rather have a smoother bike.
