I am sad to see you go, but I am puzzled a bit by your weight objection. I see grandmas piloting Gold Wings and something-glides that must out weigh them five to one (or more). If there's a tip-over at speed I'm a lot more worried about what's going to happen to MY BODY than the motorcycle that can always be repaired (or totaled by the insurance company.) When it comes down to it, there isn't a bike out there than wouldn't be better if it were lighter, but we accept the challenge by buying Li batteries, etc. or doing what you already did- buy a nice featherweight single or twin for the stable for those days when we want a bike that disappears. Looks like your CB has disappeared, alas.
