Also found out the other day that the bike  does indeed have a handlebar lock.  Not that it is obvious mind you, but it is there.  Unlike the Kawasaki which locks the handlebars via the ignition the Honda is a manual lock on the forks below the instrument cluster.  In order to lock it one must first take the key out of the ignition and then manually lock the handlebars after turning them almost full left.

It does help, of course, to remember to unlock the handlebars prior to starting the bike up and trying to ride it somewhere …
