Is your CB a keeper?

[ride4now_imp]

I find that motorcycles, at least in our developed country's, evoke quite the emotion. Not only from a decision to buy but from a decision to keep. I bought my orig. 2013 because it reminded me so much of the orig CB750, (that I had never owned or even rode for that matter), back in the day. Then, one year later, I traded her in on my 2014 Deluxe because it reminded me even MORE of that orig CB750. I won't sell this bike because it pushes all the buttons I wanted pushed. For me, it's a terrific, middle weight, all around UJM. It can take me almost anywhere I want to go. It's not the best handler, sport bikes are better. It's not the best tourer because its too small, it lacks storage, protection, and has that #%^+ chain which I hate. My Harley is better. It wouldn't make a good Adventure Bike although I know of at least a few people who are trying to prove that it is. My KLR is better. And frankly (I'll get hate mail for this), I don't think the fit/finish is really that good. But that 4 cylinder air cooled engine loves to rev and has a design that belongs in a museum. It has 4 chrome headers and 2 chrome mufflers that love to sparkle, and the way it sounds under way is just too good for ears. It pushes the buttons. I could say similar things about the other bikes in my stable... while they push different buttons, they push MY buttons. I don't think anyone buys a motorcycle in the US, Canada, Austrailia, France, Great Britain, or in any other developed county in the world for any reason outside of emotion. No one NEEDS a motorcycle here... we just WANT one, or two, or three...
