Hondamatic can barely be called a motorcycle, lol. If you can learn to ride a motorcycle you can learn to use a clutch and gear shifter, the worst thing about the cb400t's though is the lunch box of an instrument cluster. So glad my wife ripped hers off and replaced it with mini gauges, she got so tired of looking at it that I came home one day and she had bought and installed a mini speedo and hucked the old one in the trash can haha.

I hear you, a new 'dashboard' is in the works.
 I'm just happy she can go on rides with me on her scooter/motorcycle and begin a life-long love of motorcycles

I thought I'd post a HIDEOUS "not impressive" picture of my girlfriend's POOP bike. Had a very nice ride yesterday in the Northwest. It was up to 57F on that day.

It's a really nice metallic brown. I forgot the name of it. I wanna say Garnet Brown Metallic or something like that. It may even be a Candy color. It becomes very dark depending on the day. If you compare it with Bill's first picture on post #1, it's a remarkable difference because the picture he posted is flat out boosted and made to look ugly on purpose (to prove some sort of point that I don't get).

It was her first "real" ride on it yesterday moving up from her CB125. She had no problem keeping up with my 750, even though we only went on city speeds on up to 55MPH. It was hard for her to give up the CB125s...she even cried...but I kept persuading her to do so (she made a lot of profit on it). It was nice because after that ride, she realized how much of a better bike she has now.

Such a cool bike! Nimble and quick, the way I like 'em. When the sun hits it, it looks beautiful. I'll see if I can take a picture when it's really bright out.

Fenders - you've got issues... You can't seem to let go of it. If she likes the bike, then who cares? Ride what you want, but please stop whining. You're spoiling a perfectly good thread of bike color bashing!

I think it's in bad taste to take a perfectly good color, boost it to make it look ugly, and create a thread to reference to someone else's bike. Just my opinion. I know I have issues, so no news there. No whining here.

I can certainly post some pictures of ugly colors to help out with the hatred here. :)

She had no problem keeping up with my 750.
But the burning question you left open there is, is it faster over the 1/8th mile ;D
