Anyway, I have decided to buy a CB!! I absolutely love this bike!! The riding positions fits me perfectly from how I have ridden my whole life either on Honda CL's, dirt bikes, and triumph's. it also fits my intended riding style perfectly which is 99% back and mountain roads. I also want something that I can just hit the button and go for a quick ride or something longer. The old school look just draws me too it also. I have nothing against other brands but am really not in to all the other lifestyle stuff, not there is anything wrong with it, just not my thing.
So my now I have to find a 2013 with ABS or wait for 2014. Neither of my local dealers, both 10 minutes away, have one with ABS. However they said they cold trade for one if I want them too. Will check some other dealers within 1 1/2 hours or so to see what they have. Will still have lots of good riding weather left so would like to pick one up soon.
Thanks again and will post when I get one in the garage!
Congrats ARMike! Of course we all think you made the best choice. I am thinking it makes a lot of sense to let your favorite local dealer find you or trade for an ABS bike. The only reason I don't trade with my local dealer us because they have such a bad reputation. Of course if the farther away dealer's prices make it worth the drive, then it makes sense. Either way, it's great you're getting your new bike and we are all happy for you!
Ride Safe(ly)
