Well seems that only the USA are interested in these Hondas...apart from us two europeans!
Here are some pics of my other drives :
My Miss's 1200 Bandit
It's a 2005 MY and only 10000kms on the clock. Bought in 2007 in 1st hand with 6500 kms...we didn't use it much because my wife was pregnant a couple of months later.
Has been sitting for a while...I start it up and go for a ride with it sometimes.
My GSX 1400 which is confiscated at the moment ( )
2003 MY and 45000kms on the clock. I bought it new and had it resprayed one year later (lousy original Suzuki paint job!) in candy red (5 layers of varnish) in a personnal color (made to my specifications).
Some details of the paint :

The bike was originally blue...I didn't want any blue left overs! And the emblems/stickers had to be put back in their original positions. Nice job! Looks like if it were sold by Suzuki as is, but the quality is MUCH better!
Our 125 XLR
1986 or 87 (can't recall at the moment), 25000 kms. Bought form 1st owner in 2003.
Sitting in the garage too...I use it a couple of time a year to go commuting.
Our side-car (Honda ST1100 + DJ Saxo) which is from 1990 (we are the 4th owners, it was kept long times at each ownership) with over 130000kms. Bought it last year and already covered 20000kms only on vacations use!
This allows us to go motorcycling/camping and on vacations with the family. Thus the bikes being much less used...
