the CB a better cruiser ?

[Charlie Bravo_imp]

I've toured on a Triumph Bonneville, a Harley Sportster, a Harley Street Glide, a Kawasaki Nomad, a Yami FJR and a BMW RT. They all worked because they were all what was available at the time. I would not call the CB a touring machine by any stretch of the imagination, but you got to run what you brung. I use the CB as a city bike, day rides near my house, and the Suzi is my touring mount with it's windshield, comfy seat, V-twin, and 6-speed. You can put up with a lot when you're young, but older bones and joints demand more comfort.
