Default The quality of Honda powersports products..

If you frequent GDD you have read that some of the people here think the quality of honda cars/suvs is slipping. Do you feel that way about their bikes/ATV's/scooters, etc?

Do you feel Honda had a "golden era" for high quality bikes, or do you feel that their stuff is still getting better?

While I certainly don't care for what they did to the VFR, and I don't like how limited their non-touring/cruiser segment is becoming, I certainly think the quality and craftsmanship on all their motorcycles is still top notch and they still embody the spirit of combing reliability, performance, and practicality into almost all their models.

They're getting better and better. Performance wise their bikes are finally catching up with the rest. I mean dont get me wrong honda makes their products to be reliable but that doesnt win races. Im glad to see that their 1000 and 600rr are heading in the right direction as far as performance goes.

I haven't heard that, The CBR1000 is due for another facelift but when they released the 2008 1000RR it seemed to dominate the competition. Isn't the Goldwing still king of its class? I'm not sure, I haven't read up on it enough to give a good opinion.
