2014 Honda reviews

I think Honda got it right with this bike. I have the CTX700 DCT with the fairing and it is a really nice ride. It is very smooth and handles great and gives 65 mpg. It takes the interstate great - I can maintain 75 mph. and it isn't even breathing hard. It's a really nice bike and fun to ride. Show less

My previous cruiser weighed 750 lbs., but at age 71, I was beginning to feel dangerously awkward around shopping malls and filling stations. The CTX700, which weighs 500 lbs. wet, is a wonderful touring motorcycle, and for me it offers another decade of motorcycling. My bike has a tall windscreen, locking saddlebags, a tachometer, clock, ABS brakes, tubeless tires, 6-speed transmission and a fuel range of over 300 kms. (over 190 miles). My motorcycling chums are 15 to 20 years younger. They all ride 980-pound Harley-Davidson's, and we cruise at 120 kmh. (75 mph.), and at this speed, my CTX700 tachometer shows 3,800 rpm.; the red line is 6,200. So, if you like touring, and want a comfortable saddle so that on occasion, you can ride 800 or 900 kms. in one sitting, I heartily recommend to you a CTX700. The CTX700 bikes are chain driven, but with a centre stand, that should not present difficulties, whenever you decide to make a pilgrimage to Sturgis. Show less

This vehicle is so cool! I am 30 so I have many Harleys and ATVs and this vehicle is the best out of all 10 of them! It even has an iPhone charger and that is extremely helpful for a phone-lover like me. But the best feature would probably be that there are many compartments and that is helpful for when I have groceries or for my supplies as a teacher. this vehicle is definitely "The Bomb.Com."

Upon owning three other scooters, a Harley and various street bikes, this is by far the best overall bike/scooter for me. I am 60 yrs. old and it does everything you could want. It's easy to do errands around town, country roads to enjoy the fresh air rides or being able to keep up with traffic when you need to. There is lots of storage which is great for running to the store. It's so much more than I ever expected. I got a feeling I will be riding this much more than I expected. Show less

I bought this motorcycle to be my first, to learn on per-say. It starts every time, without fail. The seat is very comfortable, and the reach to the handle bars is not fatiguing in the least; so longer rides are quite enjoyable. It is not fast at all, and actually the acceleration between 45 mph. and 65 mph. is somewhat slow but steady. It can sustain 65 mph. going up and down hills, making it a great city bike, but I wouldn't want to try to maneuver around 18 wheelers in the interstate. It's lightness allows the wind to push it a bit much for my taste. It's a great learner bike - excellent quality. Show less

The perfect balance of price, quality and performance. Honda nailed it - this is the best deal in a performance bike. Compared to bikes in the same price range, you will discover smaller sized displacement, less comfort and bland styling and an entry level kind of bike. This is no entry level bike. don't be fooled by the low price. This bike has all the edge you could handle in a 600/650 sized bike. Show less

To date, I have 425 miles on this 2014 CTX700ND (naked) DCT bike. I have been riding since the late 1970s and owned many machines, and this CTX700 has the lowest center of gravity that I've experienced. This translates into a very easy to ride bike that leans with confidence and holds a straight line well. The DCT (dual clutch transmission) moves the bike through 6 gears in "A" (automatic) mode in either D (drive) or S (sport), or you can shift up and down through paddle shifters on the left grip in "M" (manual) mode. There is no left grip clutch or foot shifter. At close to 500 lbs. with mid-range foot forward pegs, this 670 cc machine is getting 80 mpg. running in D mode. The low seat (28.3") that could be more comfortable after an hour, the bike burns 87 octane gas. The parallel twin cylinders are cantered forward 62 degrees and have been borrowed from half of the Honda Fit car. Water cooled, ABS, programmed fuel injection, and sleek in appearance, folks don't know what the heck this black cruiser is when they see it. It's been lots of fun so far for this experienced rider who was looking for something different and didn't want to go the maxi-scooter route.(My other bike right now is a BMW R1200R.) Show less

If you are in the market for an outstanding ride, this is the best. It's sporty and a good cruiser. Show less

After riding Harleys and other big cruiser bikes since the 70's, it was time to quit the 800-pound machines and get something for in town errands. It was difficult to give a scooter a try but I was pleasantly surprised. This bike is fun. It can store more groceries than my Electra-Glide. The left locking fairing box holds a bottle of wine. Try that on any motorcycle. Two full face helmets fit under the seat. It handles the freeway with ease up to 80 mph. traffic, plus it gets great gas mpg. (70). I still miss the sweet sound of a V-twin sometimes, but I can see myself riding scooters for years to come. Show less

I looked at the reviews and can't find any on the new Forza on your website so here's what people should know. This is my first bike ever to be on. Drive or ride, I love how it handles and don't get me wrong. It's great so far and only been a couple months but the only bad I should let you all know is it has some issues. With a second rider with weight of only 130 pounds was a little much for the steep hills we have in Arizona. I am thinking of a larger scooter in the 500-700cc range for that reason. Also, the highway travel for if you have traffic, you need a little more size to feel safe in the flow of traffic. It's a great starter bike and good for around town. Thanks Honda for the ride.
