What's meant by 'flat handling' and 'lazy front end' ?
#7
Stormbytes...this about the author Bhuvan Chowdhary:

'Bhuvan has been riding motorcycles for more than a decade. He loves travel, food and writing about interesting developments in the motoring industry and is habitual of pulling wheelies now and then.'

Wow...a decade of riding and he has a habit of pulling wheelies.

Notice the "and is habitual of pulling wheelies". That prose usage is peppered throughout his article, more noteworthy for the high quality pictures than the insight it provides on the CB.

Two take away's from this:

1) This hipster journalist was never the target demographic the CB was aimed at.

2) In Bhuvans short test ride world the CB's handling is "flat and lazy". In my real world of 13K ridden miles on the CB its controlled, steady, predictable.

If you have an opportunity to ride it BEFORE you buy, do it and make up your own mind. Don't let either of us talk you into, or out of buying the CB.
