Hi cormanus. I made the sadly all too familiar mistake of thinking it wasn't powerful enough. Thats what everyone who doesnt own a CB says right? Instead of enjoying it for what it excelled at. I got vfr crosstourer. Nice bike and all that but (for me i must stress here incase i offend any vfr owners!) the engine and gearbox just wasn't as sweet and whilst it was ok at lower speeds it didnt feel 'happy' to me much below say 35mph. And its big. So tootling about down narrow country lanes around around here and just going somewhere just to see where it goes became a little frustrating. My mistake TBH because the vfr isnt built for that, its a mile munching machine. After being honest with myself about what i wanted from a bike i realised the CB was likely to be as close as i am gonna get. I have to say i was seriously tempted by the new 650 Royal Enfields but thought i would lose too much trading down so the EX became the obvious solution. Its got all the qualities of the RS but is full retro and so far i am extremely pleased with it.
