Sorry there will be no lengthy ride report from me. This is all I can give at this point. I'm back to work catching up.
I just got back from a 9 day 3,757 mile trip on the CB...
It performed flawlessly in all conditions: 100+ degree dust storm in the panhandle of Ok. USA, 35 degree freezing rain and snow at 12,000 feet elev in Co USA, in the high winds at 14,160 feet elev of the highest paved road in North America (Mount Evans Co.), to the Desert of Az. USA and from the twisties of the "Million Dollar Highway 550" to the straight slabbing of the interstates. Very dependable and adequate motorcycle. I went 162 miles on a tank once(not by choice). I filled it up and figured 50 miles to the gallon. That was during a stretch of highway where speeds didn't surpass 65mph much if any. When slabbing it on the interstate at 72 mph- 76 ish it burns much more of course.
Also, FYI. The Bonnie received more attention. However, there were a few people that recognized the "New CB" for who she is...
BTW one more thing. The CB can take a 904 Big Bored Bonnie and a 1450cc HD Street Bob in a drag race...
