Getting older and buying a new CB1100

[redbirds_imp]

Hey redbirds: In summary, how is the NC750X working for you?

I'm very pleased with it. Not handsome like the CB but in a few ways superior. Handling is very good, predictable, accurate turn in. Needs better tires to bring out it's real potential I think; Michelin Pilot Road 4's will replace the stock rubber. Brakes were a nice surprise, better than I thought they'd be considering the single disc front. I find the seat comfortable for long rides but the suspension belies it's lower grade origins on rough roads. The motor has a relaxed feel even at 80 mph and never feels like it's breathing hard. Weight and the perception of same is it's strongest asset; It feels as though it's 50 lbs lighter than it is and this I think from the lower positioned cylinders and fuel placed under the seat. Fuel capacity is not great but 70+ mpg average it's good enough. Last of all, the "frunk", I love this convenience so much I can't imagine not having it now.
