You know, at the risk of offending the membership here, not everyone likes to putt around at 3000 rpm. Don't like ripping your CB? Fine, it takes all kinds. I've noticed that go-faster mod questions are met with at least one poo-poo'er every time they are posed. The standard "You should've bought a different bike" answer assumes that anyone who doesn't ride like you do is wrong or not enjoying the bike correctly. Perhaps the no compromises quality of the CB is what caused us to own the CB in the first place, (it's progenitor was a really sporty bike in it's day). I can appreciate the CB's fineness without dismissing anyone who may really like the bike but wants to explore power adding options, for pete's sake, it's not like the bike will be inherently unsafe because of poor chassis engineering or under powered brakes. Once again, I mean no disrespect to anyone here, but I'm sure this forum was meant to bring CB owners together to discuss the love of owning a CB, whatever it is you may love most about it.
