I have had my 2014 Std for about two weeks and a thousand miles. I have been riding since 1966. The CB11 is my fifth liter bike. I find it to be the easiest bike to ride "precisely" I have ever ridden. Handling is not on the par with a sport bike setup. But on the other hand the CB doesn't need a steering dampener to tame the front end and prevent a tank slapper. My other go to bike is a ST1100 with a heavily modified suspension and lowered. The ST handles better than a stock ST1100 but is heavy, requiring some sliding around on the seat when riding aggressively (Track Days).
To put your concern to rest, I think you will find few faults with the CB11. Honda got it right with this bike. Is the 2017 better? I don't know. My local dealer wouldn't order one in for me to look at. I'm happy with that though. My 2014 suits me perfectly.
