Living in Arizona, with a XR650L (basically the same motor) the fear of carbs is very well founded. I had to buy a another carb to solve a problem I couldn't sort on the original carb.
I test rode one back in around 91 or so. Thought it was a bit vibby (I thought it was a twin - what did I know? I had been out of motorcycles for ten years), very pricy for the size and power offered but knowing what I know now I would have waited till the prices drop and bought a couple. It's a huge reason why I got the CB.
Being cheap I can't justify one now unless I got it for a reasonable price; but it would be a very cool bike to have.
