"Yea bro, but check out my Hayabusa" No thanks. CB's got style.
For real though...when i was 18 and had the CBR...it was all about speed and power...and ive always heard people say things like:
"Id never want to go that fast"
or
"It has enough power for me"
and Id always be like...wow...what a pansy...
BUT
This CB...really DOES have enough power, and i really WOULDNT want to go that fast haha...this bike is just perfect. literally nothing i would want different about it, maybe a fairing, like way more fairing options, because everyone has the same one! lol

Just think what a 450 lb bike with 140 to 200 hp is like! I just looked at a Ducati monster 1200s but not sure I need that level of power.

I may be one of the oldest on the forum as my DLX will arrive in June, a gift from my wife for my 70th birthday. I have to sell my GL1800 but still... This is my first post and I'm not sure what I am doing. This is a trial post. I hope to find info on access0ories like engine guards, luggage rack/sissy bar. I hope to make the CB a sport tourer.

You're doing great. I am a newbie here as well but I think I have been here long enough to say welcome and congratulations on your new CB

Welcome sir, not sure you are the oldest on the forum but you are probably close.
You did fine with your first post. Please go to the new members forum and introduce yourself and tell us some of your background.
In the meantime, get busy with the search engine to find out info or if you cant find what you are looking for post up and we will help.
70 and wanting a "sport tourer".., I love it! Good on ya my friend.

Welcome!
And I'm glad to hear we can still ride when we are 70! At least I hope I can.

I've a mate who'll be 70 next year and still going strong as a rider. I reckon there's hope for us all.

Welcome, you have just made me an even younger member of the forum (I'm 70 in Feb '15). This is a great forum. Masses of information and some really great people who always respond when a member asks for advice or assistance. Keep riding, keep posting. Look forward to the ride reports.
As a matter of fact, you know, the 1940s produced some fine vintages.
Cheers
