The bars were at an odd angle that made my shoulders tired quickly. The CB11 I took out and immediately felt at home on, so much so that in my ten mile test loop that included a highway run between exits, I took a side road just before pulling back into the dealer so I could open her up more in each gear and ride some twisties. I am 53 so the CB11 is a better fit for these old bones. It was nice and relaxing just as former MotoGP rider Tady Okada said it was in his video test ride.
same here...very tempted by the 1000. Then since I already had a street triple, I figured that when I wanted a stiff(sportbike) ride and be in a uncomfortable position I could simply ride that.
btw I'm 66.
