I have the newest version which is a great bike IMO and extremely reliable with the best dealer support. I know its very subjective and some only have one do it all bike but nothing like touring on an actual touring bike. My CB is my rip around town bike which turns into 300 mi rides anyway but love them both. For those of you who have never rode a 2014 and newer Harley touring bike they are quite comfortable with excellent storage, ample power, lots of torque and great handling. Top notch brembo duel linked anti lock brakes, awesome sound system and ergos. Yes they are pricey but so are all the other touring bikes out there. I dont want my CB to be all junked up with pizza boxes and beer coolers with car windshields stuck in front, lol. Ill keep my semi cafe retro look. If I was going to stick those big square boxes on it I would probably just get an adventure bike instead. Like I said, very subjective. I think everyone should enjoy their CB as they see fit.
Two bikes that I classify as my "Dream Bike": Honda CB1100 and Harley Davidson Road King. When I have some time to tour that will be my next purchase. I remain open to the other FL touring bikes but will need more time in the saddle. No bike is perfect but those two come close as far as I'm concerned. Enjoy your two great bikes.
