When I decided to return to motorcycling 6 years ago I wanted to buy a 2013 the tri-coloured CBR500R.
Unfortunately my 67 year old, 6'2" 220 pound frame did not fit well on it. Bought a CB500XA instead and thoroughly enjoyed it's light and nimble handling on curvy back roads. However it felt wound up and noisy at 70 MPH on 4-lane highways.
I feel much more comfortable on my CB1100 EX at high speeds, but wish it was 100 pounds lighter.
