Just noticed the date, and realized I picked up my CB 7 months ago yesterday (3/29/13)
My odometer is reading 6557 which is just under 1,000 miles a month. That includes a trip down the BRP/Dragon and another trip to W Va and Va. (Not too shabby considering I also put 4355 miles on my ST, 1022 on my Majesty and 467 on my wife's Majesty)
The bike has run like the proverbial Swiss watch, that's to say like every Honda I've ever owned, bike or automotive. Nothing has broken or fallen off. Never a hiccup while riding. Averaging over 50 mpg since the third tank, as high as 57 mpg.
My only complaints would be what I consider a sub par rear brake which the Honda Service Rep thinks is inexperience on my part
(had to laugh at that one)...ok sonny... I'll take care of it myself! a fuel gauge that drops too quickly, and a seat that gets uncomfortable after 6 or 7 hours in the saddle. I'll be due for tires next season... think I'll try the Bridgestone next time for comparison.
Really enjoying this motorcycle. It's beautiful, fit and finish is superb, the motor satisfies me. Transmission is slick as long as the chain is adjusted. Front brakes are great. Handles better than it should. It is easy to service (except for those pesky valves). It gets lots of attention from strangers wondering what year it is (2 more yesterday). Sure am glad Honda brought it to this country
I'm giving it
Also enjoying this forum a bunch...I see in Guth's signature this forum was founded on April 13, about 2 weeks after I got my bike, and I joined the forum the next day April 14th. Thanks again Guth...and everyone else that participates too ... It's been a hoot
