First "biggish" ride
Took the day off work to take advantage of a dry cool day here in the Pacific NW. This was my first ride over 50 miles and I did 160 miles out to the coast, up to Bellingham,WA and back to Lake Stevens,WA.
This bike is great. I can't give enough compliments to the smoothness, handling and ease of riding this bike exudes.
The clutch is like glass, never misses a shift, doesn't shake or vibrate and the seating position is perfect. I was out for about 5 hours, including a coffee break downtown in Bellingham, and several stops for pictures. I am trying to get a feel for the bike before I plan some bigger rides this spring and summer with my girlfriend. I have a rear carrier ordered and will be getting a waterproof bag for longer day trips and overnighters.
I got 53 mpg today without trying to take it easy and was impressed with that.
It has been stated in many different posts; people just don't know what they are missing with a CB1100!
