I am happy to say that any fears about heat issues or lean angles were unfounded. To anyone who is considering these issues as being important , no worries. The bike is great around the curves. I can ride it just as aggressive as I do the dr650. As far as any annoying engine heat, it is virtually nonexistant. Thanks for everyones great input as it helped me decide to buy the bike and I am loving it.


Awesome news Congrats Fred Thumbs Up

Well played Fred!

I, like you bought without having test ridden the thing. Mine had only 104 miles on the clock and was an ex demo. I was glad they didn't offer me a ride because I was the most serious customer they had for the bike and it reassured me they wouldn't let any old Herbert take it out for a thrash on a Saturday afternoon. My worst fear was going in to look at it and finding out they'd leant it out for the day as a service loan bike on a wet day! Angry

I too was not disappointed and love mine too. I wouldn't listen to Cager on Two Wheels too much, he hasn't been riding very long from what I could make out, and his 'reviews' seem to be little more than glorified test rides. I bet he's the scourge of every dealership in Portugal or wherever he's from. If you're reading this, sorry Cager, I love your videos and think you're fantastic! Big Grin

Nice work Fred. I also bought mine without a test ride, I had committed too much time to internet reviews and You Tube videos on the bike to not buy it!

Fred, I know this may be a little late, but my CB11 doesn't get nearly as hot as my 2002 VFR (right side kicks out a lot of heat in traffic). I have touched the peg fellers down a couple of times up in the mountains and the bike handled great. I was shocked that it did it.
