+1 Time is shorter than we think and you make excellent points. Hitchhiking on what was previously mentioned, Honda is pretty good at getting the mechanicals and electricals right even if the design isn't popular. Ride what you want as long as you can before your only option is a Lark.But, on the other hand, I'm 67, and don't how many years I have left to ride. Do I waste one of those years waiting to see if anything gets updated after the first year.
Even though I very likely won't get one (though there are $$$ saying 'Hey! We're just sitting here doing nothing!') I will be at the showroom trying to get a demo ride.
