mate of mine has one (and in fact bought it after seeking my advice on whether to) and it is a nice bike.
Sean has put a lot of miles on it both in the hills and on tour.
It's the standard version and despite it's bulk its a very fast machine with excellent brakes.
The footpegs have recently (by necessity) been replaced as the owner ground them back to approx half their length from spirited cornering.
Sean is a big fellow and rides the bloody thing like a motard, you wouldn't believe the scrubbing on the tires....look like a sportbike on a trackday.
Believe it or not she's not bad at lifting the front wheel waaaayyy off the deck either!

apart from a recent unfortunate mechanical upset
which resulted in an expensive engine / gearbox repair job
it has been bulletproof and to be fair to the big Honda, I don't think it was really designed to be ridden as hard as it is.
one thing to bear in mind, unlike a HD once metal begins to disintegrate in this motor it spreads through the entire engine / powertrain and can lead to extensive (expensive) repairs.
even bearing that in mind its still an 8/10 bike IMHO.
Very dependable and very powerful!
