That's going to be fun! 110 horsepower on a motorcycle that weighs 120 pounds less than the CB. I see they have added traction control, ABS, and better suspension than the FZ-09.
I rode a FZ-09 for a day while my CB500XA was in for service. Really strong motorcycle. Despite having a quarter century of riding experience, I was only able to use half of the engine's rev range and gears in the twisties. I used sixth gear once coming onto to 4-lane highway, and was 25 KPH over the 100 KPH speed limit in seconds. I like the bike, but could only use half the power. Mind you I am 70 years old and my knee dragging wanna-be-racer days are far behind me.
ENJOY!
