Looks great Ferret. Almost makes me want to have one. Smile


At least they are giving you better OEM tires compared to previous model years.

Be careful riding at night with the OEM headlamp (hopefully it is better with the 2021).

Oh no, the CB isn't going anywhere. Should turn 60,000 miles on it early next week.

I got rid of my FJR. Great bike, but my wife said she thought she was done riding and we are definitely not cross country touring anymore so I don't need a 630 pound 145 hp tourer for the riding I am doing these days which is mostly local loops and day rides.

Hope I didn't make a mistake getting rid of the FJR, it was a great bike

This one came with Metzler's instead of Dunlop's

The headlight is now LED (all the lights are) and from what I understand self cancelling turn signals. I don't ride at night much any more either.

and the forks are Dual bending Valve

Looks to be many improvements over my 2018, especially the tire upgrade. Did the center stand come standard? CS is my next modification, for now I've been putting the NC on my bike lift for chain lube.

Very nice Ferret and some cool options. I like the two tone color scheme. I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. While not perfect for the task the CB can be pressed into ‘nakit’ sport tourer mode if needed. I’ve done it on several occasions and was impressed with how well it performed that role.

CB does well as a touring bike, especially if you keep off the super slab interstates. I find the NC actually better in this role as it feels far more relaxed at 70+ and has better weather protection.

redbirds stand had to be purchased. If you buy one, there is a trick to installing the springs. Watch this video
