I wasn't shopping for a bike, and certainly not a CBX, but I stumbled on a "deal I couldn't refuse." (Oh well...what's another debt...) I've long admired the looks and sound of the CBX--sort of a 2-wheeled Porsche--but I never saw myself owning one. Up to now, my biggest bike has been a Suzuki 450 twin. This CBX is another thing altogether. If any of you own, or have owned, a CBX, I would like to hear about your experiences, observations, etc. Other than things any long-time biker should know, are there cautions, warnings, or whatever, specific to the CBX? I will be using the CBX primarily for daily commuting (60 miles, freeways and fast canyons). Please mail me; no need to bore the whole net. I'll post a summary if anything of general interest turns up. Thanks. --John Clark ...!{hplabs,sdcsvax}!sdcrdcf!randvax!clark clark@rand-unix.arpa
