I should be clear on the rear rack, it is an extension to make the rack longer, by Kemimoto. Almost half that stuff was acquired through the Amazon Vine program btw, so no cost to me

I am also getting a 2024 delivered to my local dealer at the end of April/beginning of may. My dealer is only getting 2 bikes, thats it, and I only had to put 200 bucks down to secure the bike. Out the door tax/dmv/freight fee the total came to $5,005.21. So literally right at 5k. Can’t wait for the bike! I truly wanted a green 23 model but the yellow is insanely sick!
also I’m in Salinas Ca and this is the cheapest by far dealer I have come across. I had been looking for almost a year for the 23 model and looked across the entire state of California and could not I shit you not find one bike under the price of 6500 so with that said when I found this small mom and pop Honda dealer in my town that does not advertise a damn thing I jumped on it asap. So yeah if your in Cali your fucked to get one at the normal price tag that one should pay unless you find a small independent dealer that’s mom and pop and wants to get the sale over a bigger dealership and they will get you as close to that actual price as they can

Excuse my rookie ignorance but what will be the benefits of putting on a 13t front sprocket? Will it increase the top end?

Which Houston dealership? I tried to buy mine at Honda of Houston and when I went back the next day they had only 1 left and they were not willing to negotiate it. I ended up buying mine from cycle shack in Conroe. I paid 5100 OTD including the front and center racks.
No you will likely lose some speed on flat ground. What you may gain is a little more umph in your mid-range and hopefully be able to hold onto more speed on slight grades.

You may have bought the one I looked at in March at Cycle Shack, that's who has my deposit now. Still waiting............

oh! sorry to hear that. Beaumont Honda had one in stock. Check with them, because according to what cycle shack told me it will be a while before they get one, IF they even get another one. East side Honda in Baytown also had 3 coming in

Heck yeah, I'd be down for that. As long as we don't have to start wearing vests with a patch of our future club name.
I'm currently riding a DRZ 400, last bike was a Royal Enfield Himilayan.

Well it finally happened, picked it up today and rode it home for about 40 miles. First impressions are it's a lot of fun as long as you're not holding up traffic, and the seat sucks.
Nice bumble bee to buzz down the road on.

Congratulations!! And you are correct, the seat does suck!! Let me know if you find a good replacement!
My question is how many miles on your butt? I ride motos and bicycles a lot and dont have seat issues. I would bet after a month or two in the saddle on a regular basis your body would adjust. 40 miles in a new position on a new seat for anyone could be rough, contrary to first impressions smaller harder seats work better in the long run then fat cushy ones unless you just do coffee runs on the weekend.
Good luck!

We will see if it gets better, put another 20 or so on today and it's still uncomfortable.
I've grown accustomed to stock seats on some other bikes, the Honda Trail 125 seat was one that never got better. I replaced the seat on mine and it was completely worth it as someone who goes on longer rides.

Nice, and thanks for the link. I may end up getting the same one.
