yeah hondas are great right now because of the fuel ignition they added. but all the other makers of bikes will be adding them next year. to be honest i would look for like a 2007 bike with low hours and has all the added gadgets u need. u can find them cheap. my buddy picked a 2007 honda crf450 with all the ammenities for like $3000. it was dirt cheap. thats the route i would take but if need a new bike then get a honda.
