Great riding motorcycle.. after years of sport bikes it took me a minute to realize the pegs were not behind me. This was the first ctx1300 sold from my local dealership so I had a small crowd watching me as I departed which is always entertaining..
I did notice the touchy throttle issue that others have noted on the first corner or two, but in my opinion this is simply a matter of getting used to the bike. I found that simply loosening up my grip on the throttle a bit and picking the right gear for the corner resolved the issue.
silky smooth gearbox, no drivetrain lag at all, handles like a much lighter bike, comfortable riding position.
I did note that the feedback thru the bars on bumps was pronounced but not in anyway unsettling. I didn't note excessive rebound out of the front suspension as a couple reviews have indicated. I was expecting to be floating/bouncing a bit, but the bike felt very planted.. I am very happy with the purchase..
