I thought I'd share a few of my thoughts on my new (13 std) CB. First off, as I said in my first post, I'm much less experienced on-road than most of you, so it's entirely possible that I'll say something that has some of you shaking your heads! Lol. But here's my take so far...
Love the power curve of this motorcycle! Tons of torque, very smooth and simply lots of fun! Turns better than I thought it would, stops quicker than I thought it would (thanks to awesome front brakes! ) and generally does everything well. Honestly, this bike is exactly what I signed up for--quiet, smooth, and fun to ride. Biggest complaints? I love the under seat storage, but wish honda would have made the seat flip up instead of come all the way off. It's easy to remove, but I find myself looking for a safe place to set the seat while I access the "trunk". Also, the seat isn't the most comfortable after an hour or so, but I'm wondering if it may get more comfy as it breaks in? Otherwise, great bike, glad to say I'm part of the CB family. PS, haven't seen another one near me yet.
