I could have started post but probably not worth it.
I stopped by the local Honda dealer and he had a used PC-800. Now I had to try it given Mike H.'s comments and the fact I think it is a neat concept. I liked the idea of the bike and the price was OK. The power was OK. It's a water-cooled V-twin although you can't tell by looking at it, of course. I was not at all comfortable though. My knees were in an uncomfortable position and I had to stretch to reach the handle bars. Neutral was hard to find. Maybe because it had 22k miles(?). My bubble was seriously burst because I thought it would be a neat second bike for longer trips.
But no way. I got home and got on the Savage that just fits me like a glove. Tonight I'm a Savage believer.
No new toy for me for xmas (although I did get myself a new cell phone)
