Well I have had a chance to spend some time pushing the CTX around to get a feel for it.
Overall it's a great bike. I can't seem to find a problem with the bike that would stop me from buying it.
I liked it's ability to recover after I pushed it hard left and right into sharp corners. It has strong brakes a strong engine and a really comfy stock seat and riding position.
I didn't like (more like, I was a little uncomfortable) with it's dipping on the front under hard braking and a bit of a wobble when hard accelerating out of a corner. But I'm also not used to the CTX.
What irrated me the most was the CRAPPY pocket hinges for the USB and storage. They are to coin a phrase sh!t.... especially for a Honda? They were difficult to open and to re close.
The left indicator cover wasn't clipped on properly, neither was the left hand side clips for the fairing. I closed them up easily enough but 1 was unclipped on my return form the test ride? Is that normal or just a crappy Demo bike?
Small things aside I was very happy. I will digest my Test ride and pick a replacement from my two favourites.
Cheers
