how is it nicer??
It's not a scooter.
why does that matter??...it has the things i'm looking for in a bike.
I'm just messin'.
I just thought with some comfort stuff and luggage it could tick the boxes.
I think you're not wrong...you can make almost any bike "yours" and outfit it to do what you want. Once I got the bag, screen, grips, etc on my CB500X, it was a really good commuter.
But some are better starting points than others depending on needs, budget, etc.
But I think you already know all of this.
