I was surprised at how much pep it seemed to have. However, to this day I find it funny when the CB is referred to as a big bike. Compared to the Harley line up, the CB is not a big bike.
The dressed Harley's weight in about 900lbs, similar to a ST1300. The ST carries it weight much higher and you need to be real careful at stop lights, uneven ground or gravel, not the case with the HD which has a lower center of gravity. This could be my 30" inseam, may be different to someone taller. The CB with the low seat height is very well balanced.
