No, I don't have much riding experience and I am currently looking at a smaller bike which is zephyr 750. I learned to ride on a ZR7 which is in a way a successor to the zephyr so if the deal goes down, I think it'll be a great bike from both the performance and design wise.
Yet somehow I still choose to believe (even though I've never ridden one), that CB11 would be an easier motorcycle to control, due to the fact it has narrow tires. Also I've read and watched a lot of reviews and many times it was mentioned how easy CB11 is to control due to narrow tires. Of course those same narrow tires requires to be more careful on twisties as I understand due to their smaller surface area.
