Serious? I was hoping that they were going to be lower and more forward. Oh well, good thing I like the '14.

that's just my impression of the CB vs the Brit twins redux. I'm hoping the '17 is a bit more like that as the brief seat time I had on one at the show didn't immediately give me that 'too small' feel. Then again I like the look of the new bike so maybe I was just distracted. If they want to sell well in the US, particularly to folks old enough to have fond memories of the origional, they'd do well to open up the ergo's a bit. Maybe that's part of the Euro vs North American version differences. 'Not too darn likely mind you but hey, hope springs eternal (even if my badly used knees do not).
