What interested me for the 22, is the high-quality front suspension in the form of Showa 41mm SFF-BP USD forks, plus dual front discs, lightweight swingarm, redesigned front wheel and other detail updates including a striking new colour and bold new graphics.
But, otherwise, this little Honda has a strong following and is a popular choice for nearly a decade.
