WHEELIE FACTOR

-

The CB didn’t feel the most natural bike on one wheel. Despite the Honda’s mega smooth power delivery, a well-timed crack of the throttle would get the front wheel pointing skyward but when in the air, I struggled to maintain a steady altitude. It was a bit up and downy, as if the bike was a bit too short to offer a decent amount of stability. It did get easier over time, but the twitchines­s never disappeare­d. Had I been better at pulling wheelies I may have loved it. But I’m not, so I didn’t.
