I loved my Honda PC800 for commuting; hard core Bikers dissed it as a pansy's scooter and the Speed Freaks found it too tame.
BUT it was a great commuting bike; lots of (internal!) trunk space, comfortable seat and riding position for both driver and passenger. 800CCs; enough power and fuel efficient to boot. Not much around today that compares.
Now I have a Honda VTX1300R and a Yamaha Roadliner done up as Classic Cruisers.
