The riding experience is similar as both give the same relaxed cadence at higher highway speeds. My CB was faster of course but the motor always felt "busy" at 70 mph or better. My BMW was good for about 50 mpg with the optional 6 gallon tank and the NC around 72 mpg with it's 3.7 gallon tank, the BMW had the edge in range but not by much. With the very comfortable riding position and surprisingly good wind protection, I would not hesitate to take a trip of any length on it. Bigger, heavier and faster are not always better.
