I did a very ardent stop on my 13CB - no need for story. I was amazed how quickly it stopped (?40-50mph) and even more amazed that I didn't get hurt. I had not done anything like that in ?20+ years. My amazement was in the facts that I did it 100% properly (from instinct) and the CB allowed me to do it correctly without any assistance from ABS! No wheels locked, bike shudder, or sway. If you do it evenly, the CB has 100% beautifully matched front & rear brakes and f&r shocks. This is probably my highlight to date of riding this work of art. Initially I thought I should maybe have purchased the ABS model after all, but in hindsight, nothing replaces good riding on a great bike. A big smile is on my face as I write this post.
