Honda started in 1981 with the 500 and later made the 650. They also made a turbucharged version of each. The engines are stone cold reliable with the exception of replacing the stator every 35 to 45 thousand miles. I was confident enough that I rode my 650 Turbo 4,100 miles round trip from Tampa to Sturgis, SD. in 1995. The bike had over 65 thou on it then. Damn good engines.
