I have a CB 500x in the garage that belongs to my nephew in Nevada. I promised him I would ride it from time to time to keep it excercised. It's a nice little bike, but with my CB and FJR sitting there I have to force myself to ride the 500. Even though I don't use 50% of the power of the liter bikes, I'd rather use 50% on those than the 100% of the power I have to use on the 500 to do the same thing.
I'm one who absolutely disagrees with the statement about it being more fun to ride a little bike fast than a big bike slow (only guys with little bikes say that). I love my big bikes. With a big bike, you can ride around below speed limit all day if you desire, nice and smooth with no effort, but when you want to feel a giant rush of power a small twist of the grip is all it takes.
