My 2014 std was perfect for me to get back into riding again after a 25-year absence.
Enough power to pass whenever you wanted to but not too much to pull wheelies when you didn't want it to.
Brakes were excellent for me. I practiced many panic stops...one time I swore I was doing a "stoppie” even without ABS. LOL
Weight was good....never dropped it during a stop....even on awkward stops on slopes or with the wheel turned (can't be said for a "real" top heavy bike like the K1600).
The CB was definitely “flickable” in curves….don’t know if it was the short wheelbase or 18 inch tires….but very forgiving in curves.
Started and ran like all Honda's do....immediately and flawlessly.
It was perfect for what Ferret said....40-55 mph on curvy roads.
The wind and weather protection were my only negatives but that comes with all "naked" bikes....so can't blame the CB for that. Probably should have installed a larger windscreen like some have.
