I remember life before Honda, when Harleys, Triumphs, Nortons, BSA, etc. were everywhere. Then along came the Japanese with some rapidly changing fresh ideas, and we embraced them. Fast forward 25 years and we have a plethora of choices, and Honda emerged as a sorta well made albeit expensive product line. I did not like the limited choices of the early years, and today there are so many choices it can boggle the mind. Considering my life experience and use of bikes, I came to appreciate Yamaha thinking and design, and the 83-93 Ventures in particular. And so the multitude of Honda riders you observed have considered their choice as best for them, but that is them, and what is good enough for them is not for me. I like all bikes, but I like mine in particular for its power, lighter weight, style, economy, utility, and the fact I don't see myself around every turn. It doesn't hurt when I hear casual observers stop and look saying "that's a beautiful bike, what kind is it? Having 30 year familiarity with Yamaha helps keep my budget in check as I do ALL the work myself.

Just my humble opinion.............
