HANDLING
I like the ride and handling characteristics, it feels neutral, it never surprises me or bucks me out of the seat. It’s predictable but it can show its softer side when hitting bigger bumps, but there’s nothing to cause concern. My morning commute includes A-roads, B-roads and the A1M, all of which the CB takes in its stride. I have also never touched the rear or fiddled with the preload. I didn’t need to, it felt good from the start.
