Great stuff. LOL
I just turned 59, and got the CB for many of the same reasons you've listed above.
It was only a couple of years ago that there were 4 bikes in my garage, including a Ducati 900SS, and a cafe-style Triumph Bonneville...those days are very over. While I still love riding, I just can't fold myself up anymore onto the sportbikes that I've known, loved, owned and ridden for the past four decades.
So the CB hits all the right buttons with me: decent size, torquey inline-4, very comfortable, upright position, and is just plain drop-dead gorgeous.
I'm presently going through some health issues, so my time in the saddle has dwindled dramatically, but who cares? I'm not on a schedule, or have a quota or mileage goal to meet! I ride when I can, and enjoy the heck out of it. When I'm not riding, I can still stare longingly at her.
Bottom line? Buying a motorcycle is a very subjective thing, but I think that you'll find that there's little not to like/love with this one. Add to that a forum like this one with a great bunch of folks to virtually hang out with, and it's a no-brainer, win-win kind of deal.
