Wants.
I want a Honda GL650I. Based on Honda's CX500/GL500 model, it's basically just a GL500I with a 650 engine in it. The GL series (500/650, the FIRST Silverwing series...not the Goldwing, and not the Silverwing scooter line) is cool because it included nice midsized touring bikes. Full fairing, luggage, comfortable seat, etc. The GL series had front dual-disc brakes and better suspension than the CX line. It also had a bigger tank and a similar frame, but a sliiiightly different engine.
Here's my CX500 with my touring crap loaded on it in Colorado.
I think it would be cool to have a Silverwing with all the goodies on it, plus maybe an mp3 player and a GPS integrated into the fairing. I know I complain about people that listen to music when they ride, but when you're out in the middle of nowhere on a long stretch of road in Kansas, I think it's acceptable. I just like the fact that it's a midsize touring machine with a transverse GL/CX engine in it. And the 650's engine is blacked out. I'll get one someday...
