After sitting on the bike and determining you fit on it comfortably, as an experienced rider I’m not sure you’d learn anything from a test ride. This isn’t a sport bike, so a test ride isn’t going to thrill you with breathtaking acceleration or racetrack handling and responsiveness. The CB is a supremely smooth, comfortable, and extremely forgiving jewel of a motorcycle, and makes no pretense that’s it’s anything but that. It makes more than sufficient power for street riding and looks great while doing so. You’ll be impressed with the build quality, refinement, and attention to detail. Despite the weight, it handles easily with its narrow tires and upright ergos, and offers much more capability and riding satisfaction than a test ride could demonstrate. If this is the ownership experience you’re after, skip the test ride and just buy the bike. You won’t be sorry!
