What part of "out of town" eludes you? The GN is my city commuter hack
and shopping trolley. I venture further afield, I don't ride it.

You fail. Again.

You don't have *time* to put in 8 hours at the orifice and then ride
"out of town" everyday. You're on the computer 16 hours a day,
masterdebating with strangers.

You *lie*. As usual.

I don't try to look at a bike when I'm on it, too busy watching the
road, but probably some people have better eyes than I. Usually, I
don't even look at the whole thing when I'm not on it except for
inspection such as for cracks or rust, just some small part or other. I
don't know why so many people talk about looks, the sv650 seems like a
very modern and capable for road use and efficient and economical bike
to me, something Honda seems to have veered away from in the last twenty
years.

I didn't say I go out of town every day.

Nope. You fail to read properly.

I've owned one. Nice basic simple bikes. Not exciting, very obviously
built down to a price, but they do a job.
