Actually, the bike I just sold, a VFR, was as much of a nostalgia buy as the CB. I was 20 when the first Interceptor came out and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I learned to ride on CBs and the Suzuki GS but the V45 Interceptor was a water cooled, V4 sportbike like nothing else that came before it. Bad timing though - I was a college kid and couldn't justify the $$.
When I was 45, I scored a sixth generation VFR and had a blast with it for 5 years. While it really stirred my soul, it was not the most comfortable thing to distance ride and eventually I began to look for alternatives.
In 2010, Honda once again brought out something that caught my eye. The CB. When it came here in 2013 it wasn't quite "there" yet for me. The '14 DLX closed the deal, though. I turn 51 this month and this bike is a keeper.
