The Big Girl is gone. Traded in my 06 ST on Tues for a 17 CB1100 EX. Was starting to have issues with her control-ability, vs. my declining strength so thought it best to make a move before the inevitable occurred. Had hoped for many years that Honda would produce the answer to my dreams: a lighter weight, lower center of balance ST, but it was not to be.
Looked at and considered FJR, R1200RT, Tracker 900 GT and others, but decided I wanted to go retro and dial things back to something simpler. I absolutely love the look of the CB and that motor/transmission is sublime. Old School bike with modern goodies: FI, ABS, Gear Position Indicator. Was tickled this morning when I found the helmet lock.
No, I won't be going for multi-day, cross country journeys, but I'm no longer interested in that style/type of riding. I've got my VFR set up nicely for touring should the need come up, so the CB will be used for stylish cruising.
