I fell in love with the cb1000 at first sight when I walked into my dealership last spring-what I didn't love though was the price.
so I spent the summer looking for an alterative:
narrowed it down to the Bonneville as a bike "similar" to the CB
vs. a different (modern vs. classic) take- the Kawi 650 Versys ABS -the redesigned 2015 seem to check all the boxes for a good all rounder but it wasn't a CB (nor was the Bonni).
As it turned out I came "this close" to buying the Versys and a week before they were available for sale I got a phone call from my Honda dealer w/ an offer too good to refuse.
It worked out in the end as the CB is the bike I wanted.
If I was to choose a 2nd bike -I would likely get the Versys.
