Well I test rode a blue CTX1300 yesterday. So smooth, so easy to handle at slow speeds, u turns and round a bouts. Center of gravity and handling for a shorter person (5 foot 10) is amazing. Goes really hard as well and the weigh people seam to talk about, appears non existent. Certainly after my GL1800 Goldwing, which was fine once you got going, but really difficult in slow traffic and a u turn, was almost impossible, needing a super wide turn.

I purchased a Red one immediately. Cannot wait till Friday to pick it up.

Here in Australia, we do not have the base model, only the deluxe model, so all the options so to speak.

Happy days ahead.

Hey Mike,
You test rode the Blue then bought the Red? Man, that was dangerous. Don't you know the different colors make the bike handle different?

I enjoy ride reports from Down Under. Pics are even better. Enjoy and hope to see some reports on any mods you do. I'm a lurker and still trying to justify the purchase after just buying a new bike 3 months ago.
