Brakes are excellent. I thought the Griso had good brakes (and they are) but pale compared to the CB's. They will spoil you. Another Griso owner that has ridden my CB commented, rather quickly I may add, that the CB is very easy to ride.
If it had the Moto Guzzi V twin motor it may be the perfect bike (I do have a slight bias to torquie free reving V twins and their steam engine throbbing power delivery). It flicks into the twisty bits with ease, almost as nice on the fast sweepers. It does not surge forward with wild abandon at speed like the Griso, but it will get up and go. Like a well powered Buick vs. a hot rod Vette.
