Have owned the CB for six months now and to be honest, I made the right choice back at the end of June when I purchased it.
The sales pitch was easy for both parties, I was impressed that the bike shop manager asked '' what do you want the bike to do''? I could have just gone ahead and paid for the bike but, Ian wanted me to buy the right bike for the kind/style of riding I intended to do.
It does what I ask of it without bitching, and acts admirably when things get a little tense (which has happened a couple of times)
The asthetics of the bike were very pleasing when I first saw it, and I still nod a little whenever I see it siting there ready and waiting.
We toured for a week in September covering 2200kms. Even with the added weight of our gear (double back pack and tank bag) and riding two up, it didn't groan once, no real need to click down when passing. The bike got through about a litre of gas every 17kms. I seem to own a bike for about a year or so then look for something else, dont think thats going to happen with the Honda. I put knew rubber on it Dec' 31 and I am real happy about being back on PR2's, as I had on the Triumph. Its wonderful to ride solo as well.
The Neptune sounds the bizz also.
