If my DL1000 hadn't attacked me and broken my hip, I'd still be riding Suzuki today. That bike was awesome (albeit ugly). Fast, great handling (I did some suspension upgrades), roomy, and I had a full set of hard luggage which I miss very much with the CB. The last big ride I did on it was Ft. Lauderdale to the Cherokee Nat'l Park area. Left in the am, had dinner that night with my pal in Horse Shoe NC. Turned around and rode home the next day. The bike had 70k miles when I sold it, the guy who bought it rode it to Alaska and back. Last I saw of it, it was for sale in the used bike department of the local BMW dealership.
Funny thing though, I rode the new VStrom 1000 ABS, and couldn't imagine trading the CB for it. The CB is exactly the right bike for me at this point.
