I have one chain drive bike, one shaft drive bike, and two belt drive bikes. Aside from occasionally cleaning and spraying the chain, there's no difference to me between any of them, although removing the rear wheel on the shaft- and belt-drive bikes is a simple job, while the chain-drive bike requires a bit more effort. But none have stranded me, and I can't discern any difference when I'm riding. That said, I agree with most here that a shaft or belt "doesn't belong" on the CB. The chain is fine and fits the bike's image nicely.
