"That guy putting around" is me. I don't spin my wheels or make a lot of noise. I just ride it.

For me it's the nostalgic experience more than anything else that awakens long lost memories and feelings. It is an experience that defines the fine balance between man and a finely crafted machine. It is not as much as the power but the calm confidence..
While its great to think about doing long burnouts and wheelies to a rockin' soundtrack that behavior WILL get you all the negative attention you can handle, believe me. KTM has a great bike that appeals to a performance oriented crowd.
Hondas video is great. The cb is all about enjoying a nice street ride without any manic drama. From what I've seen on this forum many owners already own a rocket ride for those times when the 17 year old hooligan wants to go for a ride.
