How dealers lose the sale

VLJ, I think you've nailed the evocative side of owning a CB. We don't buy these bikes for the spec sheet. Lord knows there are many bikes that can slap a CB around. But none I've come across brings the emotional appeal, the inner glow, the pride of ownership, the build quality, that the CB does. It's such a well executed motorbike. For the type of riding you're aspiring towards, I personally can't think of a nicer bike. By the way, don't kid yourself -- the CB gets with the business when you twist the go handle.

I agree 100%.

My Buell is more powerful, more comfortable seating position (and seat) and has better suspension but I much prefer riding the CB. I can't put my finger on it but it has some type of spell on me.
