Might have to check one out on the way home.
Not that I'm in the market, mind you, just curious. Everything I've read and heard about the 500 twin says it doesn't really like sustained high speed riding. Not sure what the gearing similarities are with the Rebel, but on early Sunday heading to work, a Rebel 500 was pacing me at 80 mph, and it didn't look like he was struggling.
If I were shopping, I'd demo ride the CL500. Looks really practical and not too bad looking.
