I found the bike at little too squirrely for my present experience and ability. (I will have had my license for a year on May 10.) The engine and the power was beautiful, but it was just a bit too much bike for me. I am finding the CB almost as good, but it keeps it's front wheel down and just feels smoother and more manageable. I'm sure with the extra power and lighter weight You'd leave our CB's behind on the twisties...Enjoy!Hey Bigsheep, I also considered the XSR900 after sitting on the FZ-09 (the dealer didn't have the XSR in stock). I've ridden for five years in July but only about 3,500 miles during that time. That was on a 450 twin and a 230 single. I'm 58 and don't trust my skill level to that power. I'm still impressed I'm riding a new to me near 600 pound bike! I'm going to peek in on USCGMAC to learn from him how the CB to XSR transition worked for him. I love my CB1100 but like to read about other rider experiences.
