When I was a kid trying to figure out the whole motorcycling thing almost 50 years ago, chain maintenance was confusing and a great big hassle. Nowadays, it is so easy I wonder what I was even thinking (or not thinking as my brain was probably too clouded by the '60-'70 era). Somehow 'Zen & The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' comes to mind. I never actually read the book, but have been often inspired to create my own interpretations by the title.
In any case, after decades of having no chains (belts & shafts only), having a chain final drive was actually one of the attractions of the CB when I was buying it. Simple elegance. Go figure.
