Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Motorcycle exhibits a cold start stumble. At around 1700-2200 RPM (in any gear) the engine stumbles / near-stalls. This loss of power is especially dangerous on a motorcycle where reliable power / speed is necessary to maintain riding stability especially in low speed maneuvering. Loss of power two-up with a passenger, leaned over at 25 degrees, at ~0-5 MPH, in second gear...extremely dangerous...have almost crashed more than once. In many GL1800 and other motorcycle user forums this is a known and much discussed dynamic which Honda has to-date ignored / dismissed.”
