I personally also wanted something stupid easy to ride that could be great for commuting, and that meant ideally a bike with an automatic. Did some research on automatic bikes and stumbled upon the CTX700.

Ended up finding one with 11k miles on Craigslist for $3k in decent shape. First and only owner had plastidipped all the fairings flat black, installed some LED light pods right through the radiator covers, and installed an HID kit that worked only half the time. I removed it all and it’s back to stock, except for the shorty exhaust. Sounds pretty good, so I’m leaving it..
That Honda is a nice bike. Congrats.
