I'll be interested to see the economy numbers on the 500. Honda did an impressive job with the NC700 -- averaging better fuel economy than our 300s do -- but had to sacrifice some personality for it. If the 500 performs better than the 300 by a margin, is a bit more comfortable for longer riding, and still eeks out close to the 300s economy numbers, they would have my interest.

Personally, I'm jazzed about the new small-displacement ground war!
