for the record my other bike is a ctx1300
if you think Honda did a bad job with the cb go ask your dealer about a ctx1300
he will likely know nothing about the bike
if the dealer has one on the floor ask him about it and his answer will likely be I don't know but its been here for a while
both of these bikes are probably the best bikes I have owned and I have had a bunch
now my take on the cbs is this
if you are going to mod one do a black one
the dlx is beautiful and should not be touched
maybe a windscreen and suspension
now on the exhaust every guy everywhere installed 4into 1s back in the day just to get rid of the double exhaust
I assume that's why Honda put on the 4into 1
I am bad enough with the symmetry thing that I take off badges on my cars because there on one side
I am really bad and I can live with the single side exhaust
now onto bike sales
they will never sell many of these type bikes because they are after a diff buyer
most bike buyer go into a dealer with their buddy who just got a faster bike and now need a faster bike to compete
this is a p---er size problem for most
I do not want to see another bike like mine at every corner when I'm out
this is why I don't ride a gsxr
the hp wars on bikes sell bikes not function
what most don't understand is they cant ride the hp anyway. its only something to talk about. if guys really knew about motors they would talk about torque
and almost know one knows what torque is
the cb is an awesome bike with gobs of smooth bottom end toque as does my ctx
I will take that any day over a high hp #
