Talk:Honda CT110

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Bad English

The following phrase has a problem, I don't know how to reword it. It's like 2 sentences badly combined:

though the bike has a low top speed and acceleration, they are prized for their high reliability and fuel economy make them ideal motorcycles. DaveDodgy (talk) 13:53, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, that's not exactly NPOV either, so go for two birds at once: use more sentences, and stick with citable facts.

By that I mean give the reader statements about the bike's performance, its long production run, and enthusiast groups. Let the reader conclude that the bike isn't fast & is popular, and make his/her own conclusions about why that is. How you arrange the facts in a paragraph, or in paragraphs, can help lead the reader to what you wish to get across.

Am I making sense? As wiki editors we can't make subjective statements like "ideal motorcycle". I tend to write something like your example as a draft remark, then use it as a type of map to show me what facts I need to expand and back up, and what opinions I need to jettison.

I just did an expansion of Honda CT series. You might want to dig through it for some citable figures. We could use more, but it's a start. CoffeeYesPlease (talk) 21:31, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
