2003 model, fuel injected, just rolled over 18k miles.

 

The xx w/FI is so smooth!

That Super Hawk has 48mm carbs. The largest carbs on any production bike. That may be why its not so good on fuel economy.

Nice x-mas gift from mother nature.

 

The XX has been running warm, getting up to 200-220 F pretty easily when outside temp is only in the low 90's.
Sitting at the red light for 20-30 sec, the radiator fan kicks on as it displays 225-229 F.

My VFR & F4i both are running between 170-190 F in the same outside temp.
599 doesn't have a digital temp gauge, but fan rarely comes on.

 

So, what's your favorite color?

 

I like all them colors.. just so happens that I have mostly yellow Hondas.

 

Nothing wrong at all with the bumblebee scheme. I like it.
