Is your CB a keeper?

@The ferret. Shaking, sound, slow speed maneuvering, low center of gravity. I had a feeling that CB is quite top heavy. I tried sportster 72, fatboy and low rider. Fatboy weights approx. 60kg more than CB, but it felt very maneuverable also in "walking" speed. Much more maneuverable than CB for me. On CB I always worn full gear, because I was little affraid of her, of that top heavy feeling. But with HD I was not afraid about anything after 10 metres. I was really surprised how easy it turns. And that feeling about engine full of life under you, engine you can feel, feeling that engine will jump out of frame and run away...(sportster 72) I wish I could keep CB, she is best looking bike, eye pleasing. I loved looking at her every morning and evening in garage. But riding on CB didn't bring any emotion for me. She is very powerfull bike, accelerates faster than harley, but for me she is (emotionally) something like ford mustang with 2.0 ecoboost engine and HD is shelby with 5L V8 (roaring...).

Enjoy your new HD, let us know how you like it. I personally tried out a few HD too. I like the twisty mountain roads but the HD foot pegs are too low, they too easily scrape the asphalt. You don't need to go fast to scrape them. That was it for me.

New bike is at home and it is completely different experience. Much more comfortable for me, I really enjoy 70-80kph speed with it. I really like it. For me it is finally not only transportation from A to B, but pleasure to ride.
