Searched on line resources when I decided the BMW R1200GS just wasn't for me. Good bike but never resonated inside me. Loved the power band.
Every time I identified a possible contender I added its specs to my spreadsheet - weight, seat height, hp, cost, blah blah blah.
Test rode a few, some quite nice bikes. Went to a shop about an hour from home to test ride another brand and saw the CB. My local Honda dealer didn't have one - actually had quite a limited selection of street bikes. Was intrigued, skipped the test ride on the other brand - too close to a sport bike for my wants - and started researching the CB.
Found this forum. Bought the bike. I keep bikes about ten years on average.
So far it's everything I hoped it would be.
