I enjoyed mine but I really wanted a TL1000, nicknamed here as the "widow maker".

Honda still make PLENTY of V-Twins ... check out their Cruiser line. Maybe the UK don't get some of these long running models the US gets? I rarely saw Asian cruisers when I was in UK. But in US, Cruisers have been the Japanese OEM's "bread and butter" for decades. Huge profits. Slow sales now save a few models.

I was trying to ignore the V1300 and V1800 behemoths aimed for the cruiser market: I did test ride the 1300cc quite a few years ago.
Brutal torque.
For the rumour mongering to continue, I hesitate, somewhat, to quote the UK rag!
