Some more "dirt"

And that was after I ran it through this to clean:

That would cause Ride4Now or Tink to have a stroke

Something I only just noticed about that photo is how hard the front suspension has been working on that rough dirt. See the mud rings on the upper shocks.

This is a video that shows the forks working and the camera is fairly steady.

The type of riding shown in the video links is in part what I bought the CB for. Plan was to use it as a naked sport tourer for 250-500 miles max during a long weekend to get me to well maintained forest roads and then another 3-10 miles round trip max on dirt/gravel to get me to fly-fishing destinations. Did that once last year and that was enough. The bike could do it slow and easy, especially with a different, more dirt oriented set of rubber. But, after getting home and looking how I trashed it (mud/rocks/more mud/dirt encrusted about everywhere and that's without even discussing the chain) I swore it off. Don't get me wrong, to each his own and I really applaud you guys for doing this by refusing to let your riding style be defined by any particular genre of bikes. Just know that every time you do it, somewhere a small part of a Honda CB Design Team engineers soul dies. That or a deceased KLR rider in purgatory gets his wings. Not sure which is worse : )

Just a motorbike mate. Use it or lose it, as they say. (There is them there "They" again).
