dude I had a Z1000 and now I have the CB....sure the Z was quicker like your bandit, but I really enjoy the CB. Here is my personal pro/con list:
Pros -
cheap & super easy to maintain - dude tires are only like $130-150 a set!!
plenty of real-world power for me. I've run 7.7 in the 1/8, and I'm FAR from proficient at drag racing (and at the time I was 260lbs)
looks - goes without saying
I added a slip on, pcv and k&n, I'm at 89whp. headers would put me in the mid-90's easily
bike handles great for me, but i'm not using it to carve corners. it will do every bit of what I ask from it.
Cons -
speed limiter - I don't make it a habit to ride fast, but I like to blast down a track from time to time
not much aftermarket support yet, but seems like that is changing
resale value, I would buy used if i had to do it all over again
the seat took some getting used to, it feels very narrow at the front, but now I'm pretty used to it
insurance - I fig'd having a relatively docile standard bike would be cheap to insure....but not for me it isn't! I was shocked!
