This bike slows me down

[Wisedrum]

I so agree with this! When I first bought mine six years ago, I bought it because I wanted to slow down a bit, and the test ride just brought a huge smile to face.

To be honest, at the time I did not think I would keep it for that long. Riding home from work today, I again kept telling myself that the more I ride this bike, the more I like it. And yes, it is perfect out of the crate. Any modification in my mind just upsets the perfection Honda achieved.

I agree but make a difference between accessoires that are helpful like saddlebags or a windshield and modifications like another exhaust system or a rider bank. I personally never saw an original bike including the CB that was modified in this way, that looks better with the afterwards changed parts. The line, the optical perfection the engineers build, got ruined in my eyes. But its all a matter of taste. Taste and need for modifications can be very different.

In my case it's more the experience of 3 years RE Bullet riding that slows me down with my other bikes. Also on the CB. In a way it's the discovery of an enjoyable riding slow. 70 -120km/h.
