Anybody come from a 919?

I came to the CB from a 919 as well. Put 10000 miles on it from 2008. Great bike.

The CB is different in many aspects. While the 919 is forgiving, the CB is more so when getting a little frisky around town. The Grunt of the CB is slightly lack luster when in stock trim but a few mods and it will pull harder than the 919 without turning into a unicycle.

The CB is generally more fun when you don't have your hair on fire. It is not a bike that will be out flogging sport bikes in the twistys, but at sub warp speeds it is more rider oriented. To get it working hard you need to be RIDING it. Not like hanging off type riding but you have to be moving around. This makes it a more enjoyable ride. Did I mention Torque for days?

Keep in mind I just threw some wicked gearing into my CB and that torque is amazing. Roll on at 70 in high gear gets you 90 in a couple heartbeats.
