Guy (or possibly gal) who wrote the article was doing good until the last comment "YOU MUST: Dump the center stand and add a new exhaust". Lets see, get rid of an option I wish every bike of the CB's size and weight had and then add a "fruity" exhaust (that at least is implied to be louder if not performance enhancing) and negate one of the things I personally like most about the bike. The fact I can hear myself think while riding the CB without an oppressive drone/wail emanating from the tail pipe and being ever present as I motor down the road.

Well there are a few errors. They say for "2015" it received the 6 speed and wire wheels (oh really? wire wheels huh?), and secondly the $ 11.999 suggested retail was for a 2014 deluxe and not the black std they talked about.

Other than that................

Think globally. You've seen the Asian versions with spoked wheels?

Geezer the Japanese Special Edition (the only 2015 I have found) was an EX model with MAG WHEELS. To make it special they took off the spokes and added mags.
