Already 600 kms on this gem and I love it! Such a piece of wizardry. Mechanically it's virtually flawless and it has a surprising amount of acceleration given how it's been so downplayed. Fantastic bike!
It's a very good bike. Enjoy the piss out of it. Clap
Congrats...yes a very nice motorcycle
That's awesome!
Ride till it snows up there!
I do! I ride from March to December haha! As long as it's still a few degrees so the roads aren't frozen.
It is, it's a bike with character.
As far as the people who have made claims that this bike is boring, I can't help but wonder what planet they've been living on. (Ok, for you sticklers, "the planet on which they've lived.")

How fast does one need to go?

totally Agree!!! I do not get it how reviewers tend to say that it is down on power.

Have you ridden a ZX 14, A BMW 1000, a Ducati 1100, a Aprilia Tuono V4? Most motorcycle testers have tested these types of bikes which have tremendous amounts of power approaching 200 HP and capable of 190 mph. Comparatively speaking the CB is a mouse. More than enough for mortal human beings, but mild compared to what is available out there. Riding those other bikes would literally scare the crap out of most of us and are are only able to be ridden to their potential on the race track, yet are sold as street bikes to any 16 year old with cash or a cosigner.
