That CTX V-4 is smooth and torquey, but they tuned out the upper end rush of the ST motor for the torque. It does work and move the heavy bike well. That well designed and proven motor is bullet proof and I was surprised when I read the owners manual looking for the oil change interval and after the first 600 mile change you're good for 8,000 miles till the next change! I think Honda stuck an auto motor in the bike.
Suspension is harsh especially the forks although they do loosen up a bit. Rear shocks not too bad. Even though it's a big bike it does handle well and I've never scraped the pegs.
I'm just getting too weary and wiser so I want to down-size before I'm forced to do it. Thus, the Yamaha FZ-07 and -09 and variants are on my radar, but I keep drifting back to wanting another CB even though it weighs quite a bit more than the Yamaha's.
PM me if you want more details on the CTX.
