The New SCL500

[ST Gui]

The New SCL500 isn't my cup of tea. I didn't see this mentioned though some of the mags had stories back in May.

Can Honda increase the budget for more color paint on a bike? Not a bad looking bike. I'm waiting for a new V65 Sabre. Not holding my breath.

Looks nicer than Yamaha's scr950 scrambler, I believe that was a flop.

They are either trying to convince everyone that "this" is the new style, or convince everyone that they need to like it, because they came up with it!

They both look like they couldn't make up their minds, either a cafe' style or a scrambler. To me they both look UGLY!

The good thing? They don't look like they came out from one of the Transformer movies!

Yeah, like we need more bikes of those types. Come on Honda build something that will replace our aging sport touring machines

Honda build it because it's easy. The platform already exists on at least three other bikes, so why not.
It's god awful though. Gopping.

Yeah, here would be "fugly"

At least Yamaha put the exhaust where it belongs " away from your legs.

To put your leg on that exhaust, your knees would have to bend the other way.


But it also comes in green.

I had a 73 CL350 scrambler. I loved that bike. It did everything. Long rides, around town, playing in the twisties and even just the random hill climb or romp in the desert. However the new ones don't do it for me. Shockingly the exhust covers did a fairly nice job of not frying your legs.

My first bike was a '72 CL450 with this paint:

I rode one at my local dealer ,a nice around the country bike . Light and easy to ride ,power is good up to about 50 miles per hour . Seemed to be good on fuel and was fun to ride .

If it was a Triumph 400, it'd look even better than that.
