You might not like the look of the passenger grab handles and rear seat but I can guarantee a passenger would feel much more at home on the back of the 500 compared to the high rear seat and lack of handles on the 600. I know my wife liked the grab handles on my old 03 VFR800. An easy fix for those who do not like the look would be to buy a seat cowl and remove the handles. Remember the price of the 500 when you mention the cheapness. I think its going to be a big seller for Honda. Will I buy one? Probably not. KTM keeps tempting me with their supermotos.
