I found one near me and will call the guy tomorrow and see what he says. Also, how are the vibes on this bike? I've seen mention of vibes in the seat around 5000 rpm and bars also. Be honest, now. Also, I'm 6'2-any complaints from other tall riders on the footpeg placement?

81 CBX, 76 Z1 (new), 2006 Connie (horrible buzzbomb), 84 Sabre, 2004 Mean Streak, 80 KZ1000, 06 Yamaha TTR250 (A jewel), 71 Norton Commando, and many others.
Vibration is minimal but I suppose it depends on your point of reference. My last bike was a BMW X-country (thumper) so the CB11 is silky smooth. I can get it 'buzzy' at some midrange RPM's in lower gears but don't feel anything in the 4-5k range at highway speeds (75-80+). As for size, again, I think it depends on what you are used to. If you are coming from a GSA, Tenere or some other bike where you are very upright, this bike will feel very small and probably cramped, especially since your legs are much more tucked. If you are used to a folded up supersport position it will feel roomy. At 6', I was a bit concerned about this figuring I would want to get the higher seat. While I don't think the seat is particularly comfortable, I've found the distances (peg to seat, seat to bars, etc.) to be fine.
Alas, the only way to tell is to sit on it and take it for a spin. And if you are seeing used ones, you should have no problem getting an extended test ride.
