Beerman, just curious... What is it about the weight that deters you? Are you small? older? frail? Do you have medical issues? Balance issues? Would you have to back it uphill out of a garage? Im about as small as they come at 5'6", 27" inseam. Old too at a soon to be 67 and not very strong ( I would struggle lifting a 50 pound bag of sand... I'm sure I couldn't lift one over my head). Other than the ocassional backing up, and lifting it off the side stand, there is not much involved that would make you notice the weight. It balances on it's wheels just fine. The power is so, that it's very easy to ride at anything above a walking pace. Truthfully for me the weight is not a concern at all.
My other bike weighs 142 pounds more than the CB dlx and the only time weight is an issue with it, is lifting it off the sidestand (especially with a passenger,) and backing it up, uphill. Once upright though riding it is no issue, as again you are balanced on the wheels.
