I find this bike very interesting as a possible stablemate for my CB, the price is very competitive compared to the new Honda Crossrunner which is it's natural competitor over here with a saving of £2000.
I like the red one. Great motor. Upgraded long suspension for these tired norther USA roads. Wind screen looks like it makes sense. Sensible electronics. I'm not looking for a new bike with it's new insurance costs, but I like it. If I had the money or was younger and had more years to pay off the loan before retirement stared me in the face, I'd go for it. It's more multi purpose and more of a long ranger than the CB11 is. For me though, I'm old enough that the CB is simply my style of motorcycle. If you like it, thumbs up here.
My dealer is supposed to have one on the floor Tuesday. I will ride down and take a look at it. Have no desire to own one at this time , and if the seat height really is 33" that could be a deal killer at any rate, but it's worth a look on a cold winters day.
I'm really going to have to resist taking a test ride if offered the chance. This bike fits me well as I am 6'1" and long legged. I seriously have no need for a sport touring bike, but this is pushing my buttons. I figure the more money I sink into the CB, the harder it will be to sell it. As such, I just ordered new rear shocks. Yes, spending money on my bike seems to be a sound approach.
