For some reason this is my favorite picture:

I like that one too, they are all good, particularly the 3/4 shots front and back. But the right side really stands out.

Put on 70 miles of back road bliss. What motorcycles these CB 11s are. Effortless power, riding, handling, braking, shifting. Just great motorcycles.

Here's some pics from today

Picking it up at the dealership

for you right side brained guys

The paint is stunning in the light.. just stunning

I like the view of the gas tank from the drivers seat..well from every angle, but it looks really nice from above.

I could not tell a difference between 1 and 5 on the old bike andrthe new..just too close to feel any different

6th was a nice drop in rpms though

Love the new instruments *except* when the sun is behind you the turn signal flashers are near impossible to see

do not like the new left switch.. only hit the horn once when I was trying to hit the turn signal but it took effort to remember the ts switch was below the horn switch

Bike does sit higher than the 13

seat is good for me.. thicker feeling and plusher than the 13 seat

it does feel a bit heavier lifting from the side stand and rolling around in garage

Really, really enjoyed my ride. I need to get the detail bits adjusted for me, mirror settings, throttle play, the shifter needs to be raised a bit, you know just made to fit me a little better

You look mighty happy on that new CB Ferret. Many happy miles and smiles. Thumbs Up

RE: May be gone for awhile - rboe - 04-05-2014

Just fix that oil leak and it will be well sorted..... Angel

Makes me want to consider trading mine in too. Damn good looking machine. I just wish you and a handsome young lass to stand next to it instead of that ol' fart. Rolleyes

RE: May be gone for awhile - Rick Froscheiser_imp - 04-05-2014

Looks great! I do like the exhaust on the left side. You got me thinking now about 4 into 2 exhaust for my 2013.
Ride safe my friend.

That's just a great motion shot! The new mufflers seem to have a nice upsweep to them that I hadn't really noticed before. Still in love with my '13, but the 14's are growing on me. Looks like Mr. Ferret had an outstanding first date with the new machine, congrats again!

Really happy for you and that is one fine looking bike. And so symmetrical!

RE: May be gone for awhile - the Ferret - 04-05-2014

Thanks guys..

More thought about the bike....

The paint. Everyone kept saying how dull the paint was compared to the 13. Well, out in the sunlight, the paint is full of little gold metal flakes. Really pretty.

I didnt mess with the fuel computer, but looking at the manual tonight it will apparently figure each trip meter separately, so you can figure gas mileage for a tank on A or gas mileage for a trip on B or whatever

I had forgotten how lightly this bike rolls into turns.

I was hoping this bike came with Bridgestones, especially after Randy B's experience with his rear BS...no luck I got Dunlops again.

The smaller turn signals are growing on me. Nice shape.

Reserve from first flashing light on this is 1.1 or 1.2 gals....a bit more than the .9 on the 13.

I need to look back for a pic of the sidestand on my 13. I don't remember the pad on it being as big as the pad on this 14, which struck me as huge. May be the same, I just can't remember.

RE: May be gone for awhile - The Spaceman_imp - 04-05-2014

Congrats ferret!! You truly are:

NEW AND IMPROVED!

RE: May be gone for awhile - Gingersdaddy_imp - 04-05-2014

Cool beans, she's sharp looking. Thumbs Up

OMG, this bike is so beautiful...And your pics made me drool. I am so happy for you...and thinking I have the same one in the garage waiting for me when I come back from my 10 days business trip...I might come back earlier...SUPERB, BRAVO. So proud to be part of that club.
