I always believe that the guys who designed them know a lot more about it than I do (actually, I am sure of that!), and I think the CB is perfect as it is and what it was designed to do. The more that I ride it, and it is currently the only bike I have, there are moments that I would like for something sportier with more power and torque as well as a more competent chassis. However, at those moments, I just ease off a bit on the pace and again enjoy the CB for what it is. It has gotten me thinking of maybe getting a second bike though for those times that I want to go a bit harder. I think for now the only thing I will do is remove the feelers on the footpegs as the scraping is beginning to annoy me a bit.And wtith removed feelers, what does scrape next. Is there still some security margin while leaning?
I am still dreaming of a Ducati SportsClassic 1000S. It is not a powerful bike, but other than being one of the most beautiful bikes ever built it is one that I can push hard on and get the sport feel without going at insane speeds.
