Stopped by State 8 near Peninsula Ohio earlier this afternoon, and noticed a lovely 2017 on the floor. I'd not taken any time in the past to look over one of these beauties, so the salesman pushed her onto the floor where I could give it a better examination.
It truly is a beautiful machine.
Would I consider trading or selling my 2014 and going with another CB instead of switching to a Triumph T120? Don't know ...... I'd have to spend a bit more time in the saddle of my buddy's 2016 Bonnie, then do a bit of demo time on a new CB.
It's taken me a while to get used to the inline 4 vs twins, but it'd be a close contest between the Triumph and the Honda. I like the fact that Honda installed better forks and double wall pipes on the new bike. I'm not a lover of tube type tires, but I lived with them on several bikes with few issues, including a 2000 W650 and a 2003 Bonneville Centennial Edition.
State 8 now handles both Triumph and Honda, though at different ends of the Cleveland area.
