What matters in a motorcycle?

Nicely done, and a great capture of living in the moment. The CB certainly works to your favor. As for the title of the thread, I have different ranking of criteria, but essentially the same list. But with a shed load of bikes, I don't feel as strongly about the CB11 as the 'one.' In fact, I would grab my Tiger, Speed Triple, or Ducati SS if a spirited ride were the goal. None look as good as the CB, but for my style of riding, fit much much better, and I've come to smile much more inside the helmet on them than on the CB. I'm getting my Thruxton R this week, and I have a hunch it's going to have a high smile and satisfaction quotient as well. But yes, there is a richness to the look and the basic competence of the CB that make it gratifying to own. Good stuff, Chip.

I look forward to your impressions of the Thruxton; list price here in NZ is NZ$25500 plus on road costs.
