Having waited a year to realise this was the motorbike I'd been wanting to buy since I was 8 and went for a pillion ride on a Kawasaki Z1100.
I've ridden most things since, but the CB in stock form floats my boat, and ticks all the boxes.
I am however tempted by the gorgeous modifications you chaps have done to your own bikes.
Over here in Blighty, we risk having invalid insurance if we modify the bike without consent/notification of the insurance company.
If we fail to declare any modifications, we risk being uninsured, therefore in deep poop.
If we declare the mods, all the mainstream companies shy away and refuse cover, or bump the premium up a shed load.
How does it work elsewhere in the world where you all seem to have drastic modifications to your bikes?
I have tinkered in the paste and never let it bother me, but now in my early forties and being a sensible chap I tend to check before leaping.
