DAVE - that is one HELL of a drive! i love that stretch of road all the way up to stinsin beach; it's like a fucking racetrack! fond memories with the Cal Sport Riders Club. have you ever driven hwy 1 all the way up to Gualala? (sea ranch) when i took my gsr up there last year, i was literally giggling like a little kid, saying "holy shit!" over and over while my girlfriend clutched the oh-shit handle in terror. fun times.

but yeah, back to the point - drive it thoroughly, see what you think, drive another honda, see what you think, and make SURE you remember your salesperson's name if you go back to the dealer. and ask for him 1st thing when you walk in the door.
