I ride my bike year round and absolutely love it. I'm swapping out the chain and sprokets at 20k miles and have been through 1 set of tires. Other than that, the only cost has been scheduled maintenance. haven't noticed the notorious exhaust stench. Too many freeway hours, but actually a good commuter bike (add some heated gloves) plus it's awfully sweet in the twisties. No complaints about handling, reliability, etc. I've done 450 mile days on this bike and remained comfortable. Really, it's an ideal all around ride. Did I mention that I love this bike?

Got my 919 a week ago, man it does it all. Great handling, power, a real easy bike to ride. Of course coming off a 1982 Nighthawk 750, the 919 is like a space ship.

For what you get, the price seems cheap, and insurance is very affordable as well. I plan on putting many miles on this bike, it's enough for me right out of the box. I'm leaving it alone... I'll just tinker with my 572 Chevelle instead.

Excellent bike! I've been riding for about 25 years. Generally, I get a bike, ride it, and trade it because I get excited when the new models come out. Since I bought my 919 in 2002, I've stopped trading. I don't even want to look anymore. This bike rocks! Probably the best handling bike, with the most usable power band for everyday street riding I've owned. Better than the Ninjas and Huricanes I've owned in the past. I've taken 500 miles in a day, and have no complaints about the ergos. My only complaint would be the exhaust fumes, but I like the bike so much, I'll learn to deal with it.

I've owned the 919 for a little over a year and have just under 10k miles(it was a bad winter). I'm coming from another naked bike (bmw r1100r) and I can't believe the difference between the inline 4 and the opposed twin. The power and torque on this bike is near endless. Have no illusions, this is a full out sport bike minus the plastic and you may as well be invisible because the local police don't even look twice. My favorite aspect of the bike is the handling, she's nimble at slow speeds, responsive in the corners and solid up into the triple digits(still needs a steering stabilizer). The seat is a little thin and any ride over a couple of hours will leave you wanting padded shorts. My only complaint is the vibration thru the whole bike, you feel it from the handle bars to the foot pegs and it gets worse when the chain gets loose(a good reminder to tighten your chain) The riding position is very comfortable and I'm told the rear seat is also quite nice.The cut of the tank is perfect for getting up close and personal on the tight turns,the instruments are functional and the exhaust sound is very distinct (4 into 2 into 1 into 2). Overall this bike is a perfect fit for my style of riding, you can be as aggressive as you want yet still ride 2 up in traffic or just cruise at any speed.

Bought the bike after a 30-year hiatus (college/marriage/kids). Everything is very intuitive. Rock solid handling at all speeds. Acceleration and brakes are excellent. I bought a Givi windscreen to tame the windblast at 80mph+. Just lean into the screen- no problems at 120mph. The screen eliminates the feeling that some thug is trying to tear your helmet off. This bike offers the great combination of sports bike performance, but is more comfortable with its upright riding position for us over 40 guys.Typical excellent Honda quality.
