Tomorrow I am buying a Triumph Scrambler and possibly 1 other bike!
I know they are apples and oranges but it's between the CB and the Yamaha FJ-09.
I already own a 2014 Harley Low Rider, so I have the cruiser bike handled,
The Scrambler is Retro in looks and in reality so is the Harley, so I guess I'm old school, I'm 54
so I prefer bikes that look like bikes, that being said the new Yamaha triple makes 107 hp at the rear wheel and only weighs 462. Anyway I love the ergo's of both, up right and comfortable, my only other desire is a good handler, do yall think the handling of the CB is very good? I'm sure the FJ-09 is stellar, but quite honestly prefer the looks of the CB, believe it or not the dyna and the Scrambler handle very well, and I am doing some performance upgrades to get about 75 rwhp out of the Triumph and after I change exhaust will weigh about 485. That's enough power for me, I think the CB will be even more powerful so I'm not concerned about that, I know I'm all over the place and am lucky to be getting 2 new bikes to add to the stable, and I need to go with the heart on decisions like this, but would appreciate feedback, also some might choose the CB and the Yamaha over the Scrambler!
