Well, I'm 66 and I would have gone for the CB500ABS if they had one to look at back in June. I still don't think they have one, or whenever they get one it's sold immediately. It's a lot of bike for the money. I wanted a bike with ABS and the choices in that category were narrow. I jumped for the CB11 when I saw it on the floor was the first I knew it existed. BTW, my OTD price was north of $12k.
The styling of the CTX700 is not to my liking, nor do I like the tank under the seat. All that plastic just does not ring my bell.
I'm now looking for a '37 Crocker. Old guys must drive old bikes in order to be taken seriously. Dale Walksler bought one on "What's in the barn" Awesome bike. Would take it without ABS.
