I reckon the CB would be stable and smooth, but it'd be a cuss to hold on. Maybe not with one of those nifty Comet fairings...
I never got my Interceptor past 85. It felt squirrely to me at that speed. My T100 on the other hand was solid at 100. I've had the CB up to 80 on the Interstate but just the idea that I was riding on 10 year old tires gave me a bad feeling. I'm looking forward to getting new tires. Maybe I'll see if I can get up to that limiter without chickening out after I've put a couple of hundred miles on them.

I think the T100 would give the CB a good run for it's money. At least at speeds up to about 70. It has lots of low end torque. And it's 40 lbs lighter. Although it feels 80 lbs lighter to me.
