new cb500s from Honda...

I have been looking at the comparison for some time since I was upgrading from the CBR250RA...While they are all the next level up with 470 cc engines, none has the following that the NC offers
- convenient in-bike storage
- more upright seating
- more power when needed
- lower center of gravity
- made (i mean really assembled) in Japan [Please correct me if I am wrong]
Of course they are cheaper, but I think you get what you pay for....

I'm glad Honda is bringing more bikes to the table in the US.
I know the 500 weighs less, but will it feel top heavy because it has the gas tank is higher, and older style engine design.
I'm betting the NC700 will beat the 500 in mpg's, or be very close because of the low revving 700 engine.
I bet most will be loosing mpg's and revving the snot out of the 500. They might be close if rode conservatively.
I'm keeping my mind open on this little bike, until actual owner reviews come in.
