Hi Peter,
I owned one of these for a few months,I bought it for a friend from NZ to use to tour Scotland,after he left I used it for a few months, my thoughts on it were,Great motor ,taken from the Dominator so no worries there,stock rear suspension was shot on mine at 10,000 miles ,I replaced it with a Hagon which was ok,overall the bike handled well on the road, not so good on gravel though, but like anything if you take your time it'll get there,Brembo brakes were great,it has a very strange box section frame at the back I've never seen anything else like it in 30 odd years,I had a Dominator in the past and the SLR has much lower quality build quality,I don't think I'd want to load one up and use on poor roads long term,I'm sure it would never fail to start,but i think it's chassis would let it down,that said ,it is a Honda and might cope just fine.
