I have to say that the smoothness of this bike is one of the main items that sold me on it. I stopped by a local dealership just to look at one because it was sitting out front and I had seen them in magazines and such. The dealer allowed me to test ride the only 2013 demo they had on the lot.
I couldn't believe how smooth the engine was and how easy it was to ride. Long story short, I rode it home that night lol. I haven't noticed the low rpm stumbles or other items mentioned.
Now let me also throw out that I rode air cooled Buell V twin sportbikes for a number of years and the bike I had when I bought the CB was a Suzuki M109R cruiser with a V twin. Except for only a couple exceptions all my bikes have been v twins. Some others will probably agree that v twins inherently vibrate more than other bikes. I think that I'm so used to the V twins that if my CB had a vibration of some type problem I'd probably not notice it right away.
I'm not suggesting that there isn't some type of quirk going on with your CB because I think maybe there is. I believe that everyone who has had their bike a little while knows when their bike is "off". I'm hoping you find the problem and can get it resolved.
