Hi All-
Just another old fart checking in. Started back in the early 60's and my current ride is a 2010 VT1300CS (Sabre). Along the way I've gone from Honda 50's, mopeds, Yamaha's, Triumph, Wing, etc. etc. (And really, who cares
)
I'm seriously interested in a CTX1300D if it fits. My knees couldn't handle my GL1500 riding position even after investing $200 in Kury highway boards
.
I haven't thrown a leg over the CTX yet to see if it fits but like its specs. "Professional" reviewers take issue with the CTX's stiff suspension. I have to tell you that my Sabre is a pretty stiff rider (at least until my derriere goes numb...
). Anybody care to compare the ride comfort of the VT1300's vs the CTX?
My other area of concern is that I really like the Sabre's power. I prefer inline, opposed, or V4 configurations as they're more efficient, so I would hope the 1261cc displacement of the CTX still churns out equivalent--or better--power than the 1312cc V-twin on my Sabre.
Thanks for anyone's thoughts:wink:
