I have a 17 EX and I bought this motorcycle for exactly what it is. And what it is not.
Build quality is excellent and the cost reflects a lot of that. There is a plethora of excellent motorcycles that you can get for the same $$ or less.
But they don't offer (me) what the CB does.
The motor is a sweetheart. Full boat of torque right off idle with one of the flattest torque plots I have ever seen. 2 up perfection.
I didn't want a super sport, but I would still consider this(my EX) a sports bike. It handles the twisties just as well as the present tires and suspension will allow. The ABS prevents stoppies, but we all make sacrifices.
I really do like the look (wished it would have been closer to the Whitehouse K10 though), but I have put my own touch on her because that is what we do.
Most people really don't know what to think of this motorcycle which is perfect because I couldn't care crap what anyone else thinks about her. The looks I get from the HD lifestylers are priceless! Maybe I should have bought a "real" motorcycle? LOL!
We live in the most wonderful age of motorcycles. What/How/Where do you want to ride? Take your pick. How can you go wrong?
