They are really cool bikes. Very uncharacteristic for Honda to do a British retro style effort, but in typical Honda fashion it's bulletproof and a bit boring. Unique for what it is, not many around. I think what really killed it, aside from the price, was Triumph coming out with the Bonneville line. Had Triumph NOT done that, we may have likely seen a 750+cc version of it. But Honda couldn't play the heritage card once the Bonnie's were thrown down. I like the GB's, wish Honda developed them a bit farther. They seem to have developed a bit of a cult following, which is cool. I'd get one if one came up locally at the right price and was in nice shape. 
That is an angle I did not consider, but which makes a lot of sense. The re-emergence of Triumph probably suppressed sales of the Kawasaki W650/W800 as well. The Japanese would have been nuts to try to recapture the "British bike" experience after Triumph rose from the ashes.

My buddy has one.
Is your buddy as shy and unopinionated as you? Could you get him to speak up? Maybe if you bought him a few drinks?

Another idea is to 3D print a larger taillight mounting box, and hide the holes underneath that - then remount the taillight to the box.

Went for a ride today on my '24 V7 Stone Ten. About 5 minutes in, while in the fast lane on the freeway, I briefly lost power going about 70 in 6th gear. I immediately started to merge over to the right, and while doing so, the power returned. I exited the freeway at the next off ramp, and took the local boulevard back home.
In my garage, I took off the battery cover and tightened up the terminal cables. The + was tight. The - was not quite tight.
This is the second time this has happened in the 17 months I've had the bike.
I also checked the sidestand...it was fine. I also changed the traction control from level 2 to level 1.
Going forward, I'm gonna check those terminals more often.
The beloved pulsations only "con" I suppose.

I've done it that way a time or two. But after the front wheel is off, I slide the axle back in and set a nice jack stand under it. That plus a strap to prevent the center stand from folding up and I can sleep pretty well till the job is done.
Same here when I still had gray matter.

Indeed, if it doesn’t come from a actual mfg, I’m very skeptical of anything “new”motorcycle model related on social media. Or for that matter anything on social media.
