engine heat and lean angles

[ride4now_imp]

Hello Fred... I've never noticed any issue with heat from the CB. Maybe a bit sitting at a light here in Fla in the summer, but not really a big deal... the sun on my back is much worse. I notice much more heat coming from my Harley than I do the CB. As for the riding, it feels lighter than it really is... so if you're used to your DR you'll take to this bike just fine especially since the seat height is lower. It's a great choice for a daily rider. Good luck with your decision!
