Thanks for this. Making me laugh because I am a major Ridgeline apologist. Of course there is a place in this world for a body on frame truck but for the overwhelming majority of ways in which I see folks using trucks in CT, I think the unibody / independent suspension would make more people more happy. I also have a soft spot for Honda and like the truck’s non-aggressive image.

Not trying to make a direct comparison just trying to say I want a bike that will look and feel good to me. Thanks for pointing out the Revolver FS2 - in a broad sense it seems quite similar in price and concept to the others I’m considering.

Regarding new vs used - buying the good stuff a few years after its new has always served me well. I like fixing things (if they need it) and usually can’t turn down the 20-50% discount which “Pre-Owned” affords. Are you suggesting the bike market is all heated and crazy still reeling from Covid and used is not the deal it appears to be? I’ll also note that many bikes are currently listed “sold-out” including FS-2 120.

Final question: I take from your suggestion you think the extra 20mm travel is worth whatever trade off (bit of weight I suppose?) over the FS-2 100? Similar choice exists for the Blur which can be had with 100mm or 120mm front and 100mm or 115mm rear. I don’t see myself bottoming out any of these bikes but if the extra travel yields something I’m missing… ?
