It seems like the people who actually lived through it back in the day are the only ones really interested in the CB. Its unbelievable that most in the sport don't seem to even be aware that these were such successful bikes that they lead directly to the development of modern superbikes as well as Honda automobiles, not to mention forcing Harley to get back on their game back in the day (Harley was so desperate they were able to get Uncle Sam to put tariffs on anything larger than 700cc). The CB is the Godfather of sport bikes and has transformed the entire industry. It truly does not get the respect it deserves.
