Re: Mana discontinued
But surely that would be a T-Max with an 850 engine, I bought the Mana because I love the naked bike look, and only have my auto license, if I wanted rain protection I would have bought a T-Max which I like by the way.MrGrumpy wrote:True....though I always thought a version with a fairing would have made it more attractive to commuters (and touring types). I can't see a naked-bike buyer being attracted to the auto-trans - after all, if you buy a naked bike you aren't interested in practicality - whilst a commuter might like a bike with a decent fairing for the winter and auto trans for urban warfare.rtfm wrote:That's a shame there was potential in the Mana if only they'd have ironed out the niggles and lowered the servicing costs.

Re: Mana discontinued
I really like the Mana but the servicing costs were way to much but loved the bike and it is a shame they won't be rolling off the production line anymore.

Re: Mana discontinued
Before i bought the Burger i looked into the Mana and the GP800 but with the mileage that i do it would cost me a small fortune to keep. If it was a bike for pleasure only i would have bought it.

Re: Mana discontinued
Honda have put the final nail in the Mana with the NC700 range of bikes, but my own NC700X is playing second fiddle to the S-Wing.

I'm not keen on the look or price of the Tmax and the Xevo has more storage too.Earl wrote: But surely that would be a T-Max with an 850 engine, I bought the Mana because I love the naked bike look, and only have my auto license, if I wanted rain protection I would have bought a T-Max which I like by the way.
