Recently I bought a stablemate for the CB, an 8th generation VFR. The pearl white paint hooked me and it has factory hard bags, color matched - all for an attractive price. The VFR only has 8,000mi as well. It's basically as new, like my CB.
At first I thought I might not end up riding the CB much. The fairing on the VFR is nice during these colder months, and it's so refined carving corners in this mountainous region I live in. Once on the nearby desert floor it seeks a comfortable cruising speed of 80mph. With its big tank it eats up the miles quickly. It's a Honda, so it's beautifully built and has impeccable manners.
But today was warm and I took Candy, the 2013 CB1100, out for run in the Anza Borrego desert. I found myself slowing up to 65 or less, just enjoying the scenery. At times I was running 55mph on the open road just loafing along. I had no desire to speed up. I wanted to prolong the ride.
I love the CB1100.
