Okay, first of all, I don't have a scooter yet. I'm doing the research for a planned purchase next year after a move and some other things settle down in my life.
But after looking at the available large scooters out there, I can't help wonder what the heck Honda is thinking with the Helix. Nostalgia aside (and I use that term loosely in a Star Wars sort of way) , it's an old design. Lots has been learned since then. And you can get other "nostalgic" scooters that have modern technology under the skin.
I can't image spending $5,099 MSRP on one, especially when a B400 is only about $600 more.
If Suzuki ever introduces the 250 Burger in the US, I can't help but think Honda will get their clock cleaned here.
