Glad you are enjoying yours.
Believe me, Mickey, that was a HUGE concern for me, too. And I bought it without a demo ride - so I was on pins and needles when I started it for the ride home, knowing that I'd already put my signature on the bottom line! The last time I had a 500cc was 1979 or so...mostly all liter+ bikes (and mostly sportbikes) since, except for my Bonneville, which wasn't far under at 865cc. But I'd compare the FEEL of the power of the 500 to my Bonnie. Very similar, but way smoother.
And I just can't believe how perfectly the size and position of the bike fits me for what ought to be a "baby bike" in my mind, and the 150 or so less lbs. than the CB11 is just icing on the cake. A really fun, frisky, comfortable, cheap bike. I'm blown away at how much I'm enjoying it. Couldn't recommend one enough.

It really is - thanks.
