2019 Honda 1.5L inline-4 with CVT (no turbo). Beat around Kentucky and Ohio recently without any issue. Almost 12000 kms and its first oil change was today - Honda computer said the time was near.
5.0L/100 kms (47 mpg). That is about equivalent to riding the CB1100 without over doing it.
Engine purrs very nicely, and the CVT is best in class. It does not "whirr" like more traditional CVTs and the belt never needs replacing. The one thing that is a bit annoying is the shifter: It doesn't notch well into "D" drive and sometimes it is easy to move through it - so a bit soft.
